Abstract
Emerging Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have applications for traffic monitoring, public safety, surveillance, agriculture, health services. Collaborative UAVs can form a flying ad hoc network having security vulnerabilities due to open access media and limited power. Very recently, Khan et al. presented an Identity-Based Generalized Signcryption for Multiaccess Edge Computing Empowered by Flying Ad Hoc Networks Secure Deployment. The paper presented the cryptanalysis of Khan et al. scheme shows that their scheme does not provide message confidentiality, Authenticity, and integrity. Also, presented an improved scheme, Identity-Based Generalized Signcryption. The proposed scheme is provably secure against the mentioned security attacks. The improved scheme is efficient and attractive for Multiaccess Edge Computing Empowered by Flying Ad Hoc Networks.
