Drone OTAC by swIDch is a security solution designed to protect drones from threats including hijacking, data tampering, and unauthorized access. It utilizes One-Time Authentication Code (OTAC) technology to replace static communication values with single-channeled dynamic codes. This process ensures each command and authentication request is unique, mitigating risks such as replay attacks. The technology is available in both software and hardware formats for implementation by drone manufacturers and system operators.
The solution includes modules for secure drone command execution, pilot identification, and friend-or-foe (IFF) verification in off-network environments. It protects communication encryption modules and ensures the integrity of Flight Data Recorder (FDR) data by continuously evaluating it for forgery or alteration. The system is also designed to assist manufacturers and pilots in meeting aviation identification and tracking regulatory requirements.
