    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising means for receiving, by a network function configured to provide centralized user consent authorization in a cellular communication system, a user consent authorization request from a logical network entity, wherein the user consent authorization request comprises an identity of at least one user equipment whose user consent is requested by the logical network entity, the logical network entity being a network function service consumer or an application function, means for retrieving user consent information concerning the at least one user equipment whose user consent is requested by the logical network entity, wherein said user consent information indicates individually whether the logical network entity is authorized to access data related to each of the at least one user equipment, means for determining, based on said user consent information, whether the logical network entity is authorized to access data related to each of the at least one user equipment and means for transmitting, based on said determination, a response signed by the network function to the logical network entity.

    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus configured at least to: receive, from a service communication proxy, a request for an access token which authorizes access to a service at a network function provider, transmit an authorization token to the service communication proxy, the authorization token being specific to the request, and provide the access token to the service communication proxy responsive to determining that a cryptographic signature of a network function consumer on a signed version of the authorization token, received in the apparatus from the service communication proxy, is correct. The apparatus may work in a network serving user equipments, for example.
