    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to abnormal model behavior detection. A first apparatus obtains a machine learning model and expected behavior information of the machine learning model. The first apparatus monitors behavior information of the machine learning model during execution of the machine learning model; and determines occurrence of an abnormal behavior of the machine learning model during the execution by comparing the monitored behavior information with the expected behavior information.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to access token revocation in security management. In an example method, in response to providing, to a second device, an access token for the second device to access a NF service from a third device, a first device stores a mapping indicating an association among the access token, the second device and the third device. In response to determining that the second device is abnormal, the first device sends, to at least one target device based on the mapping, an indication of revoking the access token. In this way, at least one target device associated with revoked access token can be informed and potential damage caused by the abnormal NF can be eliminated.
