    Abstract: Methods for (i) finding/discovering the right UDM instances and (ii) ensuring the UDM instance security are provided. The method for (i), includes the steps of: (i-1) pre-provisioning of UDM instance discovery information/parameters to the UE/USIM, (i-2) sending the UDM instance discovery related parameters to a core network element, and (i-3) discovering the right UDM instance at the core network element based on the discovery parameters and related routing information either at the UDM consumer/NRF. The method for (ii) includes the steps of: (ii-1) Secured choice of parameter for UDM instance discovery (e.g. UDM instance identifier) to the core network element and (ii-2) the secured UDM instance identifier generation and management at the UDM to prevent attack on UDM instances. Also a method to identify the cleartext IMSI/SUPI is provided for the re-authentication scenario along with the relevant procedures.

    Abstract: Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a method and base station for preventing a User Equipment (UE) from attaching to a false base station. The method includes: generating, by a source base station, a UE specific Anonymity Challenge Parameter to the UE based on sensitive information from the UE, cell information, source base station information and initial Anonymity Challenge Parameter assigned to the particular base station; and sending, by the source base station, a measurement command message including the UE specific Anonymity Challenge Parameter to the UE. Further, the method includes receiving, by the source base station, an Anonymity Challenge Parameter acknowledgement as a response from the UE; and negotiating, by the source base station, the UE specific Anonymity Challenge Parameter with the UE to prevent the UE from attaching to the false base station.
