Abstract: An extensible policy-based service layer dynamic authorization framework can allow a service layer to determine whether or not to grant or deny a registrant access to a resource or service hosted by the service layer for which the registrant currently lacks the proper privileges to access. This method can also enable a service layer to dynamically update its statically configured authorization privileges (by leveraging its dynamic authorization results) such that future requests from the same registrant and to the same resource and service do not require dynamic authorization to be performed.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an application authorization service. The application authorization service may be performed at an end device and invoked responsive to the launching of an application. The application authorization service may include validating an application certificate associated with the application, validating an attestation value, and validating a token provided by the application. The application may provide a request that includes an application identifier and a token. The application may be granted access to a network or denied access depending on the outcome of the validation procedures. The granted access may include assignment of a network slice. The application certificate, a secured token, and a secured attestation value may be stored in a secure environment at the end device and used for validation procedures.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device of a network may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request associated with enabling the UE to access a network, wherein the request includes a first routing indicator. The device may identify an authentication manager, of the network, that is mapped to the first routing indicator in an entry of a routing table of the network. The device may route the request to the authentication manager of the network to permit the authentication manager to authenticate the UE. The device may purge, based on the request being routed to the authentication manager, the entry to remove the first routing indicator from the routing table. The device may store, after purging the entry, a second routing indicator in the entry to map the second routing indicator to the authentication manager, wherein the second routing indicator is different from the first routing indicator.
