Abstract
In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for dynamically generating an application function-specific user endpoint identifier. For instance, in one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes receiving, from a network exposure function of a communications network, a request for an application function-specific user endpoint identifier that is unique to a user endpoint device and an application function residing externally to the communications network, querying a unified data repository for the application function-specific user endpoint identifier, determining, based on a response from the unified data repository, whether the application function-specific user endpoint identifier exists in the unified data repository, dynamically generating the application function-specific user endpoint identifier, and forwarding the application function-specific user identifier, as dynamically generated, to the network exposure function.
