Abstract: Partners in an entity increasingly need to obtain information about data relating to communications of a terminal. A configuration method and a configuration device configure a terminal device able to be connected to a slice of a communication network. The slice is instantiated so as to route data between the terminal device and a service device in accordance with at least one routing criterion. The method is implemented by management equipment for managing the terminal device and able to communicate with the terminal device. The method includes storing a configuration context of the terminal device in memory, and transmitting, to the terminal device, a configuration message including the identifier of a proxy connection device and the identifier of the network slice.

Abstract: A method for processing a network service supported by a network infrastructure allowing virtualization of network functions. The network service is made up of a sequence, called an initial sequence, of at least one virtualized network function processing an incoming stream. The method includes: detecting an anomaly relating to the at least one virtualized network function; on the basis of the anomaly, detecting and identifying a network attack targeting the network service; identifying, in the initial sequence, at least one virtualized network function impacted by the attack; modifying the initial sequence so as to circumscribe the attack in such a way that the incoming stream is routed towards at least one virtualized network function, called the curative function, carrying out a processing of the incoming stream, called the malicious stream, as well as of functions implemented by the at least one virtualized network function impacted by the attack.
