Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a technology which has been found useful in many application areas and is mainly used for the purpose of data collection and surveillance. They are very useful in reaching out inaccessible areas without endangering the safety of the working personnel However, security of the data collected and the UAV themselves are a major concern in implementing the system as they are prone to many security attacks. Hence, the confidentiality, availability and integrity of the data collected and transmitted over the UAV network should be preserved for high reliability of its functioning. Thus, blockchain technology with immutable ledger along with other key characteristics, when integrated with UAVs is found to be much effective in providing data security. This chapter explores the basics of blockchain technology, its characteristics, and architecture for securing UAV cellular communications. Also, current blockchain solutions for securing UAV cellular communications are also discussed.
