With the wide application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the military and civilian fields, the physical layer security of UAV-assisted communication has attracted more and more attention in recent years. Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a revolutionizing and promising technology that can improve spectrum efficiency through intelligent reconfiguration of the propagation environment. In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security of RIS and UAV-assisted communication systems. Specifically, we consider the scenario of multiple eavesdroppers wiretapping the communication between the base station and the legitimate user and propose a secure mechanism that deploys the RIS on a dynamic UAV for security assistance. In order to maximize the average secrecy rate of the system, we propose a joint optimization problem of joint UAV flight trajectory, RIS transmit phase shift, and base station transmit power. Since the proposed problem is non-convex, it is difficult to solve it directly, so we propose a joint optimization algorithm based on block coordinate descent and successive convex optimization techniques. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of our proposed design in improving the secrecy performance of the considered system.
