> An increasingly popular modulation scheme is Binary Pseudo Random Phase Coding (BPRPC), whereby the phase of the transmitted signal is switched between 0 and 180 under the control of a binary pseudo random sequence

this applies straightforwardly to lidar

basically: optical CDMA or DSSS

spoofing replay may still be a concern
