  In order to mitigate the distance reduction attack in Ultra-Wide Band (UWB)
ranging, this paper proposes a secure ranging scheme based on a random
time-hopping mechanism without redundant signaling overhead. Additionally, a
secure ranging strategy is designed for backward compatibility with existing
standards such as IEEE 802.15.4a/z, combined with an attack detection scheme.
The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy are demonstrated
through both simulation and experimental results in the case of the Ghost Peak
attack, as demonstrated by Patrick Leu et al. The random time-hopping mechanism
is verified to be capable of reducing the success rate of distance reduction
attacks to less than 0.01%, thereby significantly enhancing the security of UWB
ranging.
