Abstract: A security implementation method includes receiving, by a first network element, a request for handing over user equipment from a source access network device to a target access network device to perform communication. The method further includes obtaining, by the first network element, a security key, where the security key is used for protecting the communication between the user equipment and the target access network device after the user equipment is handed over from the source access network device to the target access network device, and sending, by the first network element, the security key to the target access network device.

Abstract: An authorization method and a network element are disclosed, to implement a third-party authorization function based on a 5G service-based network architecture. The method is: receiving, by a resource control network element, a resource usage request message sent by a terminal device; replacing a first user identifier in the resource usage request message with a second user identifier; sending an authorization request message carrying the second user identifier to an authorization server by using an NEF; receiving, by using the NEF, an authorization response message sent by the authorization server, where the authorization response message includes an authorization result that is obtained by performing authorization based on the second user identifier and the resource usage request message; and allocating a network resource to the terminal device based on the authorization result, and sending a resource allocation response message to the terminal device.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a registration method and apparatus based on a service-based architecture. In this method, a management network element determines configuration information of a function network element, where the configuration information includes a security parameter; and the management network element sends the configuration information to the function network element. The function network element receives the configuration information sent by the management network element; and the function network element sends a registration request to a control network element based on the configuration information, where the registration request includes the security parameter.

Abstract: A security implementation method, a related apparatus, and a system, where the method includes receiving, by a first network element, a request for handing over a user equipment from a source access network device to a target access network device to perform communication. The method further includes: obtaining, by the first network element, a security key, where the security key is used for protecting the communication between the user equipment and the target access network device after the user equipment is handed over from the source access network device to the target access network device; and sending, by the first network element, the security key to the target access network device.

Abstract: A discovery method and apparatus based on a service-based architecture, where the method includes a control network element sending a discovery response to a first functional network element, where the discovery response includes a determined security parameter and an access address or an identifier of a second functional network element. The first functional network element receives the discovery response from the control network element, and sends an access request to the second functional network element based on the address or the identifier of the second functional network element, where the access request includes the received security parameter. The second functional network element receives the access request from the first functional network element, verifies correctness of the security parameter, and determines, based on the correctness of the security parameter, whether the access request is authorized by the first functional network element.

Abstract: A network function service invocation method includes sending, by a first network function network element, a first request message to an authorization network element, wherein the first request message is used to request permission to invoke a first network function service provided by a second network function network element, performing, by the authorization network element, identity authentication on the first network function network element; generating, by the authorization network element, a token when determining that the identity authentication succeeds, wherein the token is used to indicate that the first network function network element has the permission to invoke the first network function service of the second network function network element, and sending, by the authorization network element, a token to the first network function network element.
