    Abstract: In a communication system comprising a first network operatively coupled to a second network, wherein the first network comprises a first security edge protection proxy element operatively coupled to a second security edge protection proxy element of the second network, a method comprises provisioning at least a given one of the first and second security edge protection proxy elements with configuration information that enables the given security edge protection proxy element to identify at least one security operation to be applied to at least one information element in a received message before sending the message to the other one of the first and second security edge protection proxy elements.

    Abstract: Privacy management techniques for communication systems are provided. In one or more methods, one or more cryptographic key pairs are provisioned in a home network of a communication system for utilization by subscribers of the home network to conceal subscriber identifiers provided to access points in the communication system. The cryptographic key pairs are managed utilizing an element or function in the home network of the communication system. In one or more other methods, one or more public keys associated with one or more cryptographic key pairs are stored in user equipment, the cryptographic key pairs being provisioned by a home network of a communication system for use by subscribers of the home network to conceal subscriber identifiers provided to access points in the communication network. An element or function of the home network of the communication system is interfaced for management of the public keys stored in the user equipment.

    Abstract: In a communication system wherein a first security edge protection proxy (SEPP) element of a first network is operatively coupled to a second SEPP element of a second network, a method includes receiving, at the first SEPP element, a first message from a first network function in the first network addressed to a second network function in the second network, the first message comprising one of a request and a response line comprising a uniform resource identifier (URI) having a plurality of elements. The method also includes forming, at the first SEPP, a second message comprising encrypted and integrity protected portions, the encrypted portion comprising an encryption of at least a subset of the plurality of elements of the URI, the integrity protected portion comprising a structured representation of the URI wherein instances of elements in the subset are replaced with references to the encrypted portion.

    Abstract: A short message service (SMS) message is encrypted using an encryption key stored at a user equipment and an access and mobility management function (AMF) and the encrypted SMS message is added to a payload of a non-access stratum (NAS) message that includes an NAS header. Integrity protection is applied to the NAS message using an integrity key stored at the user equipment and the AMF and the integrity-protected NAS message is transmitted. The NAS message is received via an NAS link between the user equipment and the AMF. An integrity check is performed on the NAS message using the integrity key. An encrypted short message service (SMS) message is extracted from a payload of the NAS message in response to the integrity check being successful and the encrypted SMS message is decrypted using the encryption key.
