Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks are increasingly deployed for complex missions, including disaster response, intelligent logistics, and environmental monitoring. These missions generally require coordinated collaboration among multiple UAVs across distinct administrative domains. To support such cross-domain cooperation, service function chains (SFCs) are constructed, where complex workflows are decomposed into ordered service functions assigned to appropriate UAVs along the mission path. However, it is challenging to ensure secure, trustworthy, and low-latency cross-domain SFC orchestration in identity management, authentication, and resilience to node failures. To address these issues, this paper proposes a consortium blockchain-based trust architecture for cross-domain decentralized identity verification, auditable task execution, and dynamic service-aware orchestrator…
