Abstract
A technique comprising: based on a request for a network function instance of a core domain of a mobile communication system to authenticate a digital asset, and based on a configuration of the network function instance, initiating by the network function instance an authentication process to authenticate the digital asset; and responding by the network function instance to the request based on a result of the authentication process.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including
- computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform:
- receiving, from a management function instance of an operations, administration and maintenance system for a mobile communication system, a message configuring a network function instance of a core domain of the mobile communication system with document authentication information, the document authentication information specifying one or more types of user document for which the network function instance is to provide a digital asset authentication service, and one or more authentication procedures corresponding to the one or more types of user document;
- based on a request for the network function instance of the core domain of the mobile communication system to authenticate a digital asset comprising a digital representation of a user document, and based on the document authentication information of the network function instance, initiating by the network function instance an authentication process to authenticate the digital asset, wherein the request comprises a digital image of the user document, and the authentication process comprises creating a digital representation of one or more features of at least part of the digital image comprising at least one of a seal, a logo, or a physical signature, and comparing the digital representation of the one or more features against an authentication reference comprising one or more stored or downloaded reference digital representations;
- and
- responding by the network function instance to the request based on a result of the authentication process.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including
- computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform:
- receiving, by an application function instance configured to consume one or more services of one or more network functions of a core domain of a mobile communication system, a request from a user equipment regarding authentication of a digital asset comprising a digital representation of a user document, wherein the request comprises a digital image of the user document, and the authentication comprises creating a digital representation of at least part of the digital image of the user document, and comparing the digital representation of at least part of the digital image of the user document against an authentication reference;
- determining a network function instance of the core domain of the mobile communication system exposing a service relating to authentication of the digital asset by sending a request for a network repository function of the core domain of the mobile communication system to provide the application function instance with information about one or more network function instances of the core domain exposing the service for the digital asset, wherein the information indicates one or more digital asset authentication processes used by the one or more network function instances;
- sending by the application function instance a request for the determined network function instance of the mobile communication system to provide the service;
- and
- sending by the application function instance a message to the user equipment based on a response to the request for the determined network function instance to provide the service.
5 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform:
- creating, by a network repository function instance, resources profiling services provided by network function instances of a core domain of a mobile communication system, wherein the resources indicate one or more types of user document for which the network function instances provide one or more digital asset authentication services, and one or more digital asset authentication processes used by the network function instances for the one or more digital asset authentication services;
- receiving by the network repository function instance a request by an application function instance to provide information regarding one or more network function instances of the core domain exposing the one or more digital asset authentication services, wherein the one or more digital asset authentication services comprise creating a digital representation of at least part of a digital image of a user document, and comparing the digital representation against an authentication reference;
- and
- sending by the network repository function instance a response to the request based on the resources.
