Abstract
Cloud-based 5G security, implemented in a Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) system, includes steps of receiving a request for compute resources from User Equipment (UE); validating a user of the UE for the compute resources; responsive to the user being authorized, creating a connection between the UE and a destination of the compute resources; responsive to the user being unauthorized, rendering the compute resources as hidden from the UE. The steps can include utilizing a cloud-based system for control and signaling the connection.
Claims20
A method of cloud-based 5G security, implemented in a Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) system, comprising:
- receiving a request for compute resources from User Equipment (UE);
- validating a user of the UE for the compute resources;
- responsive to the user being authorized, creating a connection between the UE and a destination of the compute resources;
- responsive to the user being unauthorized, rendering the compute resources as hidden from the UE.
A Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) system comprising:
- one or more servers each including at least one processor and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to
- receive a request for compute resources from User Equipment (UE);
- validate a user of the UE for the compute resources;
- responsive to the user being authorized, create a connection between the UE and a destination of the compute resources;
- responsive to the user being unauthorized, render the compute resources as hidden from the UE.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable code stored thereon for programming a Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) system to perform steps of:
- receiving a request for compute resources from User Equipment (UE);
- validating a user of the UE for the compute resources;
- responsive to the user being authorized, creating a connection between the UE and a destination of the compute resources;
- responsive to the user being unauthorized, rendering the compute resources as hidden from the UE.
