Secure configuration sharing over reference signals

A first network node for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• receive, from a second network node, a first signal conveying a first phase, wherein the first signal conveys a request for a prior signature parameter;
• transmit, to the second network node, a second signal conveying a second phase, wherein the second phase is based on an authentication parameter common to the first network node and the second network node and the first phase, wherein the authentication parameter comprises the prior signature parameter;
• receive, from the second network node, a third signal conveying a third phase, wherein the third phase is indicative of a signature parameter, and wherein the third signal is responsive to the second signal;
• and
• communicate with the second network node based on the signature parameter.

• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• transmit a first signal conveying a first phase;
• receive, from a second network node, a second signal conveying a second phase;
• determine that the second phase is based on the first phase and an authentication parameter common to the first network node and the second network node;
• transmit, based on the determination, a third signal conveying a third phase to the second network node, wherein the third phase is indicative of a signature parameter, wherein the third phase is based on the second phase and the signature parameter;
• and
• communicate with the second network node based on the signature parameter.
