System and method for verifying integrity-protected access tokens issued by an NF repository to authorize service requests between network function consumers and producers.

Patentradars sammanfattning

The invention relates to access token verification in network function (NF) service architectures, specifically addressing authorization and authentication between NF service consumers and producers. An NF service producer receives service requests containing integrity-protected access tokens issued by an NF repository, and verifies these tokens with the repository's assistance before accepting or rejecting the request. This mechanism ensures that only authorized consumers can access services from producers in a distributed network environment.
