# Legal, Economic and Cyber Security Framework Considerations for Drone Usage
## 2 Literature Review Analysis
### Legal Perspective  
The first of these perspectives is represented by regulations. Previous research papers have generally concentrated on the authorization process for flying drones. Thus, there is limited literature in terms of the liability in case of cyber-attacks and, moreover, for the correlation between cyber-attacks and prevention measures to be taken and regulated in legislation. From this point of view, several authors have tried to summarize issues related to the legal use of drones. In 2015, the European Aviation Safety Agency developed material regarding the concept of drone operations [7]. This paper is a risk-based approach to the regulation of unmanned aircraft. In this material, we can find the idea that drones should be part of the aviation system and be considered an opportunity for innovation in the industry because it attracts many benefits, including economic growth or raising the number of jobs. Regulation of the use of drones is needed to set a level of safety for the environment. Therefore, regulation must follow a risk-based model, and thus the established rules will follow industry standards. However, no emphasis is placed on preventive measures by reference to cyber-attacks.  
In 2016, a comparative study on the regulation of drone use was conducted in an article presented by The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center [8]. It includes policies in areas such as Australia, Canada, China, Japan, South Africa, and New Zealand, but also European countries such as France, Germany and Poland. This is an extremely useful study, as it captures the efforts of many countries and areas of the world that are concerned with meeting the standards for the legal use of drones. They are under the analysis of the International Civil Aviation Organization, which issued material in 2011 called Unmanned Aircraft Systems. This was the starting point for adapting the legal framework for the use of drones. This mainly focused on authorization mechanisms.  
In 2018, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations developed a study on the regulation of drone use in agriculture [9]. We can already see the first proof of their usefulness in several activities. This material summarized the main advantages of introducing drones to support agricultural activity. These include operability, data confidentiality and much easier connectivity. This study also included a small summary table of the regulations of several countries on the usefulness of using drones, but only from an authorization perspective.  
In 2019, the European Investment Bank developed advisory material on investments in drone use at the European level [10]. In 2015, the European Commission developed an aviation strategy in Europe, a guide for future regulations. The European Investment Bank noticed the upward trend in the use of drones and predicted a sharp increase in the number of these devices until 2022. Following a conference held in Amsterdam in 2018, the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities was issued. Based on the two mentioned documents, a platform was created in order to support the use of unmanned aircraft. It facilitates access to European Union support, thanks to the services that drone use will bring. Here, we can exemplify financial consulting services or financial products. This emphasizes the desire of personal and corporate users to commence using drones in various activities.
