SWEEPER: Secure Waterfall Energy-Efficient Protocol-Enabled Routing in FANET

Ad-hoc network developments in recent times have given rise to novelties such as FANETs. Applications for FANETs (Flying Ad hoc Networks) have expanded to include emergency services, military use, and agriculture, among other areas. UAVs populate the FANET environment, which must be dynamic. Transmitting data between nodes is the responsibility of the extremely mobile UAVs. If ignored, this leads to loss of packets. FANETs can provide reliable data transfer if they have efficient routing procedures in place location. A Secure Waterfall Energy-Efficient Protocol-Enabled Routing (SWEEPER) has been used in this study been suggested that aids in node energy conservation during the transmission process. The framework employs a waterfall model approach, with group key management serving as the foundational procedure in charge of the protocol's security. The use of asymmetric key cryptography. Our approach comprises two distinct nodes: the Computed Key (CKey) and the Dissemination Key (DKey). The two nodes will create, validate, and distribute the secret keys. This will allow other nodes to focus solely on transmission without wasting time on computational activities or key handling. Security breaches and cancerous nodes are also treated effectively. The nodes along the route are chosen based on a trust factor, which enables our protocol to select only authentic nodes will forward packets along the discovered path. Our work is analyzed using known techniques. FANETS include SecRIP and MDRMA. Our protocol beats existing protocols in terms of minimal delay, energy conservation, and PDR. This helps to a maximum throughput.
