Abstract: The present disclosure relates to authentication methods supported by the User Equipment (UE) to the core network and authentication method (selected by the core network) to the UE. These can be used for negotiating any primary or secondary (or any) authentication method and are applicable when multiple authentication methods are supported at the UE and the network (authentication server). Further, the present disclosure also offers security solution to prevent modification or tampering of the parameters in the mechanisms in order to prevent attacks such as bidding-down, Denial of Service (DoS) and Man-In-The-Middle (MITM).

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.
