Abstract
There is provided an apparatus (200, 300) comprising: means for transmitting a registration message, to an access and mobility management function, indicating whether the apparatus supports user authentication information sharing; means for receiving a request, from the access and mobility management function, requesting the apparatus to authenticate a user of the apparatus; means for authenticating the user based on the request; means for generating user authentication data; and means for transmitting the user authentication data to the access and mobility management function.
Claims16
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- transmit a registration message, to an access and mobility management function, indicating whether the apparatus supports user authentication information sharing;
- receive a request, from the access and mobility management function, requesting the apparatus to authenticate a user of the apparatus;
- authenticate the user based on the request;
- generate user authentication data;
- and
- transmit the user authentication data to the access and mobility management function.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from an access and mobility management function, a registration message indicating whether a user equipment supports user authentication information sharing;
- receive, from at least one application function;
- at least one network function;
- or at least one operator and maintenance instance, either a request to invoke user authentication at the user equipment, or a request for user authentication data;
- determine whether the user equipment supports user authentication information sharing;
- when the user equipment does support user authentication information sharing, transmit a request, to the user equipment via the access and mobility management function, requesting authentication of the user at the user equipment;
- and
- receive user authentication data from the user equipment via the access and mobility management function.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a user equipment, a registration message indicating whether the user equipment supports user authentication information sharing;
- receive, from a unified data management node, a request message prompting the user equipment to authenticate the user;
- receive, from the user equipment, user authentication data;
- and
- transmit user authentication data to the unified data management node.
