SECURITY POLICY PROCESSING METHOD AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18348905 titled 'SECURITY POLICY PROCESSING METHOD AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes a method and device for processing security policies in a communication network. - The method involves a target access network device receiving a message from a source access network device, which includes indication information. - If the indication information shows that a terminal device supports on-demand user plane security protection, the target access network device sends a path switch request to a mobility management entity. - The path switch request carries a user plane security policy, which indicates whether to enable user plane integrity protection. - The innovation aims to enhance security in communication networks by enabling on-demand user plane security protection between terminal devices and access network devices. - The method and device described in the patent application provide a more efficient and flexible way to manage security policies in a communication network.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application provide a security policy processing method and a communication device. A target access network device receives, from a source access network device, a message that includes indication information. Then, when the indication information indicates that a terminal device supports on-demand user plane security protection between the terminal device and an access network device, the target access network device sends, to a mobility management entity, a path switch request that carries a user plane security policy , where the user plane security policy indicates whether to enable user plane integrity protection.
