Internet of Drones (IoD) plays a crucial role in the future Internet of Things due to its important features such as low cost, high flexibility, and mobility. The number of IoD applications is drastically increasing from military to civilian fields. Nevertheless, drones are resource-constrained and highly vulnerable to several security threats and attacks. The use of blockchain technology for securing IoD networks has gained growing attention. To this end, this paper presents a systematic literature review to analyze the current research area regarding the security of IoD environments using the emerging blockchain technology. Forty relevant studies were selected from 129 published articles to answer the identified research questions. The selected studies were classified into three main classes based on blockchain type. Furthermore, a comparison of the reviewed articles in terms of different factors is provided. The research findings show that the blockchain can guarantee fundamental security requirements such as authentication, privacy-preserving, confidentiality, integrity, and access control. Finally, open issues and challenges related to the combination of blockchain and IoD technologies are discussed.
无人机物联网（IoD）因其低成本、高灵活性和移动性等重要特性，在未来物联网中发挥着关键作用。IoD应用的数量正从军事领域大幅扩展至民用领域。然而，无人机资源受限，极易受到多种安全威胁和攻击。利用区块链技术保障IoD网络安全已日益受到关注。为此，本文进行了系统的文献综述，以分析使用新兴区块链技术的IoD环境安全方面的当前研究领域。从129篇已发表文章中选取了40项相关研究，以回答所确定的研究问题。所选研究根据区块链类型分为三大类。此外，还对综述文章在不同因素方面进行了比较。研究结果表明，区块链能够保证诸如认证、隐私保护、机密性、完整性和访问控制等基本安全要求。最后，讨论了与区块链和IoD技术结合相关的开放问题和挑战。
