Abstract
A security service function chain is created including a set of security service functions. The security service function chain is created in response to instantiation of a given network partition (e.g., network slice) in a communication network (5G or similar network). The communication network supports instantiation of a plurality of network partitions for providing a respective plurality of network services. The security service function chain is utilized to perform at least one security service (e.g., authentication) for an entity (e.g., a subscriber or a device) accessing or seeking access to a network service (e.g., one of eMBB, massive IoT, and mission-critical IoT) corresponding to the given network partition.
