Cover Story: Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) enable highly mobile UAVs to cooperate in mission-critical environments, but their open wireless channels and limited resources create significant security and privacy challenges. This work introduces LWKAS, a lightweight signcryption-based key agreement scheme using Hyper Elliptic Curve Cryptography (HECC). LWKAS integrates authentication at the MAC layer and employs the Chinese Remainder Theorem to protect UAV location information. Security analysis demonstrates resilience against major FANET attacks, while performance evaluation shows reduced computational and communication overhead, making the scheme suitable for secure and resource-constrained UAV communications. View this paper
