1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
identify a set of security levels and a set of channel priorities for a set of uplink channels, wherein the set of uplink channels comprises a plurality of uplink channel communications overlapping in time; and
transmit one or more uplink channels of the set of uplink channels based at least in part on the set of security levels and the set of channel priorities, wherein the one or more uplink channels include at least one uplink channel communication comprising a higher security level or a higher priority level relative to at least one other uplink channel communication of the plurality of uplink channel communications, wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the one or more uplink channels, are configured to:
transmit a first uplink channel of the set of uplink channels, the first uplink channel comprising a first security level of the set of security levels and a first channel priority of the set of channel priorities, wherein the first security level is based at least in part on a first security key corresponding to the first uplink channel; and
drop, based at least in part on the set of security levels and the set of channel priorities, a second uplink channel of the set of uplink channels, the second uplink channel comprising a second security level distinct from the first security level and a second channel priority distinct from the first channel priority.
