Resumo

With the increasing adoption of advanced drone technologies across diverse fields, the Internet of Drones (IoD) has emerged as a novel mobility paradigm, particularly enhancing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in urban environments. Despite its significant potential, IoD faces substantial challenges due to inherent resource constraints such as limited computational power and energy capacity, which hinder the implementation of robust cybersecurity solutions. These limitations expose IoD networks to various security vulnerabilities and privacy threats, necessitating an exhaustive analysis and understanding of these risks.This survey presents a comprehensive examination of security issues within the IoD domain. We review potential threats, and propose an threat modeling approach. Our key contributions include: (i) a unified taxonomy of attacks (ii) an extended and refined IoD definition that encompasses drone-based network considerations This work aims to foster further academic inquiry and practical advancements, accelerating the secure and privacy-conscious development and deployment of IoD systems.
