    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus configured at least to determine whether a cryptographic signature of a token received in the apparatus from a network function consumer is valid, obtain a cryptographic signature of the apparatus of the token responsive to the cryptographic signature of the token being valid, and provide the token to a peer entity of the apparatus, wherein the cryptographic signature of the apparatus is either included into the token or provided in a header external to the token, wherein the peer entity is comprised in a second network, different from a first network where the apparatus is comprised in. The request may serve a user equipment, directly or indirectly.

    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.
