Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used as relay platforms to assist in maritime wireless communications. However, due to the open channel of UAV communications, security issue needs to be paid extra attention. This paper proposes a dual-UAVs jamming-aided system to implement physical layer encryption in maritime wireless communication. Specifically, one UAV acts as a relay to transmit data to the legitimate vessel and a set of UAVs can form a maritime UAV-enabled virtual antenna array (MUVAA) as a jammer to send jamming signals to the eavesdropper. In this system, an encrypted and energy-efficient maritime communication multi-objective optimization problem (EEMCMOP) is formulated to maximize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the legitimate vessel, minimize the SINR of the eavesdropping vessel and minimize the overall flight energy consumption of UAVs. Since the EEMCMOP is proven to be NP-hard, we propose an enhanced evolutionary computation algorithm with some upgraded characteristics to solve the problem. Simulation results indicate that the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to other benchmark algorithms.
