Cover Story: Autonomous drone swarms are revolutionising fields from logistics to disaster relief, but their software-based security is a critical weakness. This review presents a hardware-first solution. We explore security primitives like Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) that provide unclonable device identities and tamper-resistant roots of trust. Our analysis compares these mechanisms for resilient authentication and spoof-proof location verification, highlighting their energy efficiency and scalability. By bridging current gaps with emerging trends like AI-augmented PUFs, this work charts the course for a new generation of inherently secure and trustworthy aerial systems.
