US 2026/0039641 A1 · AUTHORIZED ACCESS TO SECURITY EVENT DATA

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to authorized access to security event data. An apparatus, such as a network equipment (NE) that implements a first network function (NF) (e.g., a network repository function (NRF)), receives a request from a second NF (e.g., an operator security function (OSF)) for a token to access security event data from a third NF (e.g., an NF service producer). The first NF generates the token using a profile of the second NF. The first NF transmits the token to the second NF. A fourth NF (e.g., a data collection function) can request a second token from the first NF to access the security event data for the second NF. The third NF can transmit the security event data to the second NF via the fourth NF or directly. This enables secure and authorized access to security event data in wireless communication networks.

Dependent claims

A network equipment (NE) to implement a first network function (NF) for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory;
and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the NE to:
receive, from at least one second NF, a request for a token to access security event data corresponding to a third NF;
