SECURITY CONTEXT GENERATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18340651 Titled 'SECURITY CONTEXT GENERATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method and apparatus for generating security contexts in order to protect different communication services on a terminal device. The method involves obtaining a first security context for one communication service and sending a session request message to establish a session for a different communication service. The terminal device then receives a session accept message to complete the establishment of the session. Based on an additional generation indication, the terminal device obtains a second security context to protect the second communication service. This approach enhances the security of the different communication services by using separate security contexts for each.


Original Abstract Submitted

A security context generation method and apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. In the method, a terminal device obtains a first security context for protecting a first communication service of the terminal device, and sends, to a session management function network element, a session request message for requesting to establish a session of a second communication service which is different from the first communication service. The terminal device receives, from the session management function network element a session accept message for completing establishment of the session of the second communication service. The terminal device obtains an additional generation indication and based on the additional generation indication obtains a second security context for protecting the second communication service. According to the present application, different communication services are protected by using different security contexts, so that security of the communication services can be improved.
