FULLY QUALIFIED DOMAIN NAME HANDLING FOR SERVICE INTERACTIONS IN 5G - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18541645 titled 'FULLY QUALIFIED DOMAIN NAME HANDLING FOR SERVICE INTERACTIONS IN 5G
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for security edge protection of messages between two communication networks using Security Edge Protection Proxies (SEPPs). The method involves receiving messages containing network function information, storing references in a data structure, and sending substitute labels to the network functions.
- The method involves a first SEPP receiving a message from the first network function of the first communications network.
- The first message contains an address identifying a second network function in the second communications network.
- A second SEPP operating to protect communications with the second network sends a message containing a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) reference for the combination of the second SEPP and the second network function.
- The method stores the FQDN reference in a data structure with a logical association to a substitute locally-unique label.
- A third message containing the substitute locally-unique label is sent to the first network function.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in secure communication systems, network security, and data protection solutions.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of securing messages transmitted between different communication networks and ensuring the protection of sensitive data.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, improved data protection, and efficient communication between networks.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include secure messaging platforms, network security software, and data protection services.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of proxy servers for network security and message protection in communication systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does this method handle potential network disruptions or failures?
The method does not address how it handles network disruptions or failures that may occur during message transmission.
What are the scalability limitations of this method in large communication networks?
The article does not provide information on the scalability limitations of this method in large communication networks and how it may impact performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method by a first security edge protection proxy (SEPP) for security edge protection of messages being communicated between first and second communications networks of a communications system. The method receives, from a first network function of the first communications network, a first message containing an address identifying a second network function which is located in the second communications network. The method receives, from a second SEPP operating to protect communications with the second communications network, a second message containing a fully qualified domain name, FQDN, reference for a combination of the second SEPP and the second network function. The method stores the FQDN reference for the combination of the second SEPP and second network function in a label-to-FQDN mapping data structure with a logical association to a substitute locally-unique label, and sends a third message containing the substitute locally-unique label to the first network function.
