1. A method for wireless communications at a network device, the method comprising:
receiving, by the network device, a vehicle-based message comprising message data related to an object in an environment in which the network device is located;
collecting fusion sensor data associated with the environment from a plurality of sensors, wherein sensor data of the fusion sensor data from each respective sensor of the plurality of sensors is respectively weighted based on a respective confidence level associated with a detection range of each respective sensor of the plurality of sensors, and wherein at least two sensors of the plurality of sensors have different detection ranges;
comparing, by the network device, the fusion sensor data and the message data; and
determining, by the network device, whether there is malicious behavior based on the comparing.
