    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for user equipment authentication in a shared access network environment. In one example, a method comprises establishing, via a first access management entity in a first communication network that has a radio access network associated therewith, a secure connection with a second access management entity in a second communication network to which user equipment subscribes, and facilitating, via the first access management entity, authentication of the user equipment in conjunction with the second access management entity over the secure connection to enable the user equipment to utilize the radio access network of the first communication network to access the second communication network.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software of performing a store and forward service for mobile terminated messages to user equipment via satellite access. In an embodiment, a home network of user equipment (UE) receives a first message request from an application server that includes a secured packet destined for the user equipment via satellite access, and determines whether the user equipment supports the store and forward service via satellite access. When the user equipment supports the store and forward service, the home network provides integrity protection of the secured packet at the home network by deriving a message authentication code based on the secured packet and a home network key, and send a second message request to a serving network of the user equipment with the secured packet and the message authentication code contained in a home network container.

    Abstract: An apparatus for a network node acting as a gateway entity of a second communication network providing access to a first communication network being different to the second communication network, the apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to receive a registration request of a user equipment for a registration to the first communication network via the second communication network, wherein the registration request comprises an anonymized subscriber identification element, to obtain a temporary identification for the user equipment, and to forward the temporary identification for the user equipment to the user equipment.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software of performing an Authentication and Key Management for Applications (AKMA) authentication service. An AKMA authentication proxy resides between User Equipment (UE) and a plurality of Application Functions (AFs). The AKMA authentication proxy receive an application session establishment request message from the UE requesting an application session with a first application function, sends a key request message toward an AKMA anchor function (AAnF) requesting AKMA application keys for a plurality of application functions, receives a key response message sent from the AAnF that includes the AKMA application keys, identifies a first AKMA application key for the first application function from the AKMA application keys derived by the AAnF, and forwards the application session establishment request message to the first application function with the first AKMA application key.
