Systems and methods for securely transmitting and receiving discovery and paging messages
Methods, devices, and computer program products for transmitting and receiving discovery and paging messages in a wireless communication device are described herein. In one aspect, a wireless apparatus operable in a wireless communication system comprises a processor configured to obfuscate a medium access control address of a frame by generating a random number and a transient address obfuscation key including a first transient key, wherein the transient address obfuscation key is a function of an address obfuscation key and the random number; including the random number in an address obfuscation header field of the frame; and replacing an original first address in an address field of the frame with a new first address that is a function of the original first address and the first transient key. The processor is further configured to include an indication of the obfuscation in a first field of the frame. The wireless apparatus further comprises a transmitter configured to transmit the frame to a receiving device.
