    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for refreshing and updating user keys and user key lifetimes in a wireless communication system. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication is disclosed. The method includes generating, by an authentication node, a remote user key and a remote user key lifetime. The method further includes sending, from the authentication node to an anchor function node, the remote user key and the remote user key lifetime, and sending the remote user key lifetime to a remote wireless device via a relay wireless device.

    Abstract: This patent document describes, among other things, techniques, and apparatuses for a security method of discovery in proximity-based services. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication is disclosed. The method includes transmitting, by a wireless device to a first network function, an encrypted and integrity-protected message, wherein the encrypted and integrity-protected message is encrypted using a first key that is derived from a second key, wherein the wireless device has established the second key using a communication with a second network function, and wherein the encrypted and integrity-protected message is obtained by encrypting and integrity-protecting a message.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method, device, and system for ensuring security related to SCG in a wireless network. One method performed by a wireless device is disclosed. The method may include: selecting a target PScell, the target PScell being associated with a target SN, wherein the target SN is a member of a list of SNs, each SN in the list of SNs is associated with a SN counter; determining whether a SN counter associated with the target SN needs to be updated; in determination that the SN counter associated with the target SN needs to be updated, selecting a refreshed SN counter value and updating at least the SN counter associated with the target SN with the refreshed SN counter value; and transmitting, to the master node, a first message requesting switching from a current PScell to the target PScell.

    Abstract: Techniques are described to perform network relay security. Multiple methods and an apparatus are proposed to protect the sensitive communication information of users in network communication environment. This application proposes a mechanism for protecting roaming UE capability indication in UE initiated slice-based SoR from attacks such as bidding down attacks. An example communication method includes generating, by a communication device, a request information message that includes a request information to be encrypted by a key, wherein the key is selected from a plurality of key pairs known to the first network node and the communication device, wherein a portion of the request information is transparent to a second network node; and transmitting, from the communication device, the request message to a first network node through the second network node, wherein the request message comprises a key identifier and a user identifier.

    Abstract: Method, device and computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A method includes: receiving, by a proximity service anchor function from a remote wireless communication terminal, a request for a key used for a communication between the remote wireless communication terminal and a relay wireless communication terminal, and the request comprising at least one of: a Proximity Remote User Key, PRUK, identifier, an identifier of the remote wireless communication terminal, a relay service code, or a first nonce; and transmitting, by the proximity service anchor function to the remote wireless communication terminal, a request for the identity of the remote wireless communication terminal or a reject message in response to the proximity service anchor node not being able to find a PRUK stored locally corresponding to the PURK identifier or the proximity service anchor node determining to authenticate the remote wireless communication terminal.

    Abstract: A primary authentication procedure is triggered to derive an authentication key for a home network. The authentication key may be used for interworking between network types. For example, a home network primary authentication mechanism may be triggered for interworking from Evolved Packet System (EPS) to 5GS. When a user equipment (UE) moves between network types, the security context and authentication may be different or incompatible. For example, an authentication key may be missing, which may be needed for authentication in one of the network types. Authentication key support may be determined and registration/authentication may vary based on that support. When there is no support for the authentication key, a reauthentication process may be performed.
