Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to protecting broadcast ranging and positioning messages over sidelink interface. An initiator user equipment (UE) can initiate a ranging or positioning procedure with secondary UEs that are in close proximity with the initiator. The initiator UE sends a sidelink (SL) broadcast message with a requested positioning or ranging action, along with a temporary group identifier. The secondary UEs perform the requested positioning or ranging action and return their results to the initiator UE. The results are protected (e.g., encrypted) using one or more keys associated with the temporary group identifier. These one or more keys may be a group broadcast key known by all of the secondary UEs, or individual broadcast keys for the individual secondary UEs.
