    Abstract: A system described herein provide for the secure maintaining and providing of information, such as public keys used in Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) techniques or other techniques, using a secure distributed ledger (e.g., “blockchain”) system. A first entity may generate an asymmetric key pair that includes a public key and a private key, and may provide the public key, along with a key identifier, to a blockchain system for retrieval by multiple other entities. For example, the entities may be engaged in a secure group communication session, in which communications are encrypted and may be decrypted using one or more keys, including the public key. The other entities may identify the public key, as recorded to the blockchain system, based on the key identifier. Participants may be added to or removed from the secure group communication session.

    Abstract: A network device receives an indication to establish a session for an internet protocol (IP) service between a first device and a second device, wherein the network device is part of a local network with the first device and another network device. The network device identifies a service tag to include in a service tag field of a session request. The other network device causes the session request that includes an updated service tag to be provided to the second device. The second device provides a session response with the service tag to the other network device, the other network device updates the session response to include the original service tag and provides an updated session response to the network device. The network device causes the session to be established.
