Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide configuration of enhanced physical layer security key generation.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions, that when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- identify a first transmission indicating a network preference for physical layer security (PLS) key enhancement, the first transmission received from an access and management function (AMF);
- and
- generate, for transmission to the AMF, a second transmission indicating a user equipment (UE) preference for the PLS key enhancement.
A method comprising:
- generating, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), an access stratum (AS) security mode command message that indicates a network preference for physical layer security (PLS) key enhancement;
- and
- identifying an AS security mode complete message that indicates a UE preference for the PLS key enhancement.
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry to:
- determine that a physical layer security (PLS) key enhancement is to be implemented based at least in part on information from an access and mobility management function (AMF);
- generate one or more PLS keys based at least in part on the determination that the PLS key enhancement is to be implemented;
- generate an enhanced base station key based at least in part on the one or more PLS keys;
- and
- generate an enhanced AMF key based at least in part on the one or more PLS keys;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled with the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry to enable communication.
