This paper investigates the secure transmissions in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communication network facilitated by a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS). In this network, the RIS acts as a relay, forwarding sensitive information to the legitimate receiver while preventing eavesdropping. We optimize the positions of the UAV at different time slots, which gives another degree to protect the privacy information. For the proposed network, a secrecy rate maximization problem is formulated. The non-convex problem is solved by optimizing the RIS's phase shifts and UAV trajectory. The RIS phase shift optimization problem is converted into a series of subproblems, and a non-linear fractional programming approach is conceived to solve it. Furthermore, the first-order taylor expansion is employed to transform the UAV trajectory optimization into convex function, and then we use the deep Q-network (DQN) method to obtain the UAV's trajectory. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme enhances the secrecy rate by 18.7% compared with the existing approaches.
