Interface of an M2M server with the 3GPP core network

Abstract

A network node is configured to initiate a first authentication and key establishment procedure with a machine to machine (M2M) device. The network node is configured to determine a key agreement between the network node and the M2M device using the first authentication and key establishment procedure. The network node is configured to initiate a second authentication and key establishment procedure with an M2M server. The network node is configured to receive a request from the M2M server for the key agreement to be used to communicate with the M2M device using the second authentication and key establishment procedure. The network node is configured to send the key agreement to the M2M server using the second authentication and key establishment procedure.
