Original Abstract Submitted
A method for providing, in a computer connected via a network to a 5G core network, a security gateway function is provided. The method includes connecting the security gateway function to the 5G core network via a non-3GPP access network, registering the security gateway function with the non-3GPP access network, establishing a secure tunnel between the security gateway function and the 5G core network, obtaining authentication keys and security association keys for the security gateway function from the 5G core network, and establishing user plane and control plane connectivity between the security gateway function and the 5G core network. The security gateway function is configured to establish a secure connection to an external device coupled to the computer.
