Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate handling of secure data. More specifically, certain packet-based communication systems may benefit from a mechanism to support coordinated packet delivery of one or more encrypted sessions. A method can include identifying metadata for an application flow, wherein the application flow is encrypted. The method can also include publishing the metadata in a core network, wherein the metadata is unencrypted when published.
Claims16
A method, comprising:
- identifying metadata for an application flow, wherein the application flow is encrypted;
- publishing the metadata in a core network, wherein the metadata is unencrypted when published;
- checking the application flow to determine whether the metadata is needed;
- enriching the application flow when the metadata is needed;
- creating a service policy model based on a receiver list of the application flow;
- and
- sending the service policy model to respective receivers of the receiver list,
- wherein the method is performed by a deep packet inspection mediatory entity in a mobile edge computing platform,
- wherein the publishing is performed by a network element of an operator, and
- wherein the service policy model comprises an identifier of the application flow.

A method, comprising:
- receiving metadata for an application flow, wherein the application flow is encrypted and wherein the metadata is unencrypted;
- receiving the application flow;
- forwarding the application flow after processing the application flow in accordance with the metadata;
- and
- receiving, according to a receiving list of the application flow, a service policy model for the application flow, wherein the processing is based on the service policy model,
- wherein the service policy model comprises an identifier of the application flow.
