Abstract: Systems and methods of protecting an initial NAS message are described. Depending on whether a security contex.1: for a serving PLMN is stored, the UE uses either a public key from the serving PLMN or a key from the security context to encrypt parts of the initial NAS message. An initial NAS message containing the encrypted parts is then sent to an AMF of the serving PLMN. The serving PLMN public key is transmitted via a SIB. Prior to transmission of the initial NAS message or in parallel with it, an RRC message is sent to the base station. The RRC message contains the UE identifier and/or a NSSAI encrypted using the serving PLMN public key.
