Abstract

The present disclosure provides a terminal including a memory; and a processor, comprising hardware, configured to perform a primary authentication between the terminal and a network in 5G for a third party service, derive a security key, K AUSF , and derive an identifier for the security key from the security key.

Claims (32)

1. A terminal comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, comprising hardware, configured to:

perform a procedure of a primary authentication between the terminal and a network in 5G for an Authentication and Key Management for Applications (AKMA);

generate a security key, Key of Authentication Server Function (AUSF) (KAUSF), during the procedure; and

consider the primary authentication as successful and store the security key, KAUSF, upon receiving a Non Access Stratum (NAS) security mode command (SMC) message from the network in 5G.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the primary authentication comprises 5G AKA or EAP-AKA′.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

generate an identifier from the security key; and

transmit a message including the identifier.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the network in 5G comprises AUSF.

5. The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the security key is used for the AKMA.

6. A method comprising:

performing a procedure of a primary authentication between a terminal and a network in 5G for an Authentication and Key Management for Applications (AKMA);

generating a security key, Key of Authentication Server Function (AUSF) (KAUSF), during the procedure; and

considering the primary authentication as successful and storing the security key, KAUSF, upon receiving a Non Access Stratum (NAS) security mode command (SMC) message from the network in 5G.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the primary authentication comprises 5G AKA or EAP-AKA′.

8. The method according to claim 6 further comprising:

generating an identifier from the security key; and

transmitting a message including the identifier.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the network in 5G comprises AUSF.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the security key is used for the AKMA.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

performing a procedure of a primary authentication between a terminal and a network in 5G for an Authentication and Key Management for Applications (AKMA);

generating a security key, Key of Authentication Server Function (AUSF) (KAUSF), during the procedure; and

considering the primary authentication as successful and storing the security key, KAUSF, upon receiving a Non Access Stratum (NAS) security mode command (SMC) from the network in 5G.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the network in 5G comprises AUSF.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the primary authentication comprises 5G AKA or EAP-AKA′.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the process further comprises:

generating an identifier from the security key; and

transmitting a message including the identifier.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the security key is used for the AKMA.
