Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for the secure creation of application containers for 5G slices. A MEC application in a MEC layer of a 5G network can be associated with a specific network slice of the 5G network. A backhaul routing policy for the MEC application can be defined based on the association of the MEC application with the specific network slice of the 5G network. Further, a SID for the MEC application that associates the MEC application with a segment routing tunnel through a backhaul of the 5G network can be generated. A MEC layer access policy for the MEC application can be defined based on the SID for the MEC application. As follows, access to the MEC application through the 5G network can be controlled based on both the backhaul routing policy for the MEC application and the MEC layer access policy for the application.
