Abstract
Secure device location sharing may be provided. Over a secured link, an indication that a peer-to-peer device desires Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) based location sharing may be received. Then, from the peer-to-peer device over the secured link, an identity provider (IdP) may be received for the peer-to-peer device. Next, validation of the peer-to-peer device may be requested from the IdP. From the IdP in response to requesting validation of the peer-to-peer device from the IdP, authentication for the peer-to-peer device and an indication that the peer-to-peer device needs AFC based location sharing may be received. An indication that the peer-to-peer device is approved for AFC based location sharing may then be sent to the peer-to-peer device over the secured link.
