Abstract
A method for delegated authorization at a security edge protection proxy (SEPP) includes intercepting, from a consumer network function (NF) that does not support access token based authorization, a service based interface (SBI) service request for accessing a service provided by a producer NF that requires access token based authorization. The method further includes operating as an access token authorization client to obtain a first access token on behalf of the consumer NF. The method further includes using the first access token to enable the consumer NF to access the service provided by the first producer NF. The SEPP may also operate as an access token authorization server on behalf of an NRF that does not support access-token-based authorization.
