Abstract
The usage of drones is spreading these days not just for industrial use, but also in everyday life. To keep secure the metadata of created drone images is crucial, because against the images that are made by mobile phones, they are usually used for postprocessing, like creating orthophoto, and taking different measures. For ordinary people the personal information that is stored in the metadata could be important, and they usually do not care about this information. In the following article we will present two of our own solutions for these problems, which could be implemented for every type of metadata, but especially for drone image metadata. The first solution will show a process to create a single number to measure the criticality of included metadata against protected information and provide a mitigation operation to lower the risk. The second solution outlines a possible process to keep the integrity of metadata and image data without preventing the possibility of post-processing the image and/or metadata attached to it.
