5G hyperledger slice security framework

Abstract

A method for implementing a slice security zone (SSZ) in a 5G network. The method comprises storing by an SSZ function executing on a first network server an SSZ security profile of the SSZ in a secure storage function, receiving by the SSZ function from a slice management function a slice registration request comprising information relating to a slice security profile of a slice managed by the slice management function, if the slice security profile complies with the SSZ security profile, storing by the SSZ function a slice registration association between the slice and the SSZ in the secure storage function, and sending by the SSZ function to the slice management function a slice registration response comprising information relating to whether the slice was registered in the SSZ.
