Abstract

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.
