What we know
This work aims to develop a drone-based surveillance mission system when Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks disrupt normal operations. The authors introduce cyber deception via honey drones (HDs) that exhibit fake vulnerabilities and use stronger signal strengths to lure DoS attacks, formulate an optimization problem over HD and mission drone signal strengths, and solve it using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with the Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) algorithm, evaluated in a physical engine-based simulation testbed.
