Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying AUSF and accessing related keys in 5G ProSe. The AUSF corresponding to a remote UE is identified by an AMF based on routing indicator or SKI. The AUSF is capable of key management of ProSe UE-to-Network relay communication. The AUSF authorizes the remote UE to access a 5G core network through one or more UE-to-network relays. The authorization of the remote UE is performed based on a SUPI corresponding to the remote UE. The SUPI is obtained from a UDM. Once the remote UE is authorized, the AUSF can derive keys that enable the remote UE to access the 5G core network through the one or more UE-to-network relays. The keys derived by the AUSFcan be referred to as authentication keys. The derived keys include REAR key, K, K, and K.
