NETWORK FUNCTION VALIDATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056506 titled 'NETWORK FUNCTION VALIDATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for network function validation using blockchain technology.
- First network device receives a request from a second network device with profile information to be validated.
- Registered profile information of the second network device is obtained from a third network device maintaining a blockchain ledger.
- Profile information of the second network device is validated based on the registered profile information.
- Validation is implemented via blockchain, eliminating the need for OAuth.
- Pure consumers can be authorized for validation.
- Sufficient information for validation is provided.

Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of the present disclosure relate to network function validation. the first network device receives, from a second network device, a request including profile information of the second network device to be validated, obtain registered profile information of the second network device from a third network device maintaining a blockchain ledger storing the registered profile information, and validate the profile information of the second network device based on the registered profile information. the validation can be implemented via blockchain, and oauth is not need, and for pure consumer can be authorized, in additioinformation for validation is sufficient.
