Access network trustworthiness detection in core network

A method comprising:

• acquiring a trustworthiness indication of an access network with respect to a core network together with an access technology type of the access network from the access network,
• detecting a trusted or untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type based on the acquired trustworthiness indication and access technology type, and
• operating according to the detected trusted or untrusted property of the access network wherein
• the trustworthiness indication and the access technology type are acquired from an access technology type parameter, one value of the access technology type parameter indicating a trusted property of the access network of the access technology type and another value of the access technology type parameter indicating an untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type, or
• the access technology type is acquired from an access technology type parameter and the trustworthiness indication is acquired from a trustworthiness parameter indicating a trusted or untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type indicated in the access technology type parameter.

An apparatus comprising:

• an interface configured to communicate with at least another apparatus,
• a memory configured to store computer program code, and
• a processor configured to cause the apparatus to perform:
• signaling a trustworthiness indication of an access network with respect to a core network together with an access technology type of the access network towards the core network wherein the processor is configured to cause the apparatus to perform the signaling such that
• the trustworthiness indication and the access technology type are signaled in an access technology type parameter, one value of the access technology type parameter indicating a trusted property of the access network of the access technology type and another value of the access technology type parameter indicating an untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type, or
• the access technology type is signaled in an access technology type parameter and the trustworthiness indication is signaled in a trustworthiness parameter indicating a trusted or untrusted property of the access network of the access technology type indicated in the access technology type parameter.
