DroneXNFT: An NFT-Driven Framework for Secure Autonomous UAV Operations and Flight Data Management

Abstract: Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have emerged as a revolutionary method for managing digital assets, providing transparency and secure ownership records on a blockchain. In this paper, we present a theoretical framework for leveraging NFTs to manage UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) flight data. Our approach focuses on ensuring data integrity, ownership transfer, and secure data sharing among stakeholders. This framework utilizes cryptographic methods, smart contracts, and access control mechanisms to enable a tamper-proof and privacy-preserving management system for UAV flight data.
