N2 - Secure communication and data sharing in Internet of Drones (IoD) systems are critical to ensuring trust, privacy, and resilience in emerging applications. These systems face significant challenges, including risks of malicious data propagation, privacy breaches, and vulnerabilities to quantum attacks. This paper improves the Frodo Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) to enable implicit authentication and asynchronous key negotiation. Building on this foundation, we propose a lightweight lattice-based secure communication framework tailored for IoD systems. Our framework achieves essential security objectives, including quantum resistance, forward and backward secrecy, and privacy preservation, effectively addressing these challenges. Additionally, we provide performance analysis, demonstrating that the proposed framework is lightweight and highly suitable for secure IoD deployments compared to existing alternatives.
