Provided is a secure ranging method capable of blocking access of a malicious user by preventing an attack by the malicious user when ranging is performed using an ultra-wideband (UWB). Also, provided is a method of increasing accuracy of ranging. A method of operating an electronic device for performing ranging by using a UWB in a wireless communication system includes: transmitting and receiving at least one frame for ranging, to and from at least one other electronic device; obtaining a first ranging value and a second ranging value, based on the at least one frame; and performing integrity checking, based on a result of comparing the first ranging value with the second ranging value.
