Abstract
A method for authenticating between network function (NF) repository functions (NRFs) across different networks includes receiving, at an NRF in a first network, a request message from an NRF in a second network separate from the first network. The method further includes determining, by the NRF in the first network, that the request message includes a roaming client credentials assertion (CCA) header. The method further includes, in response to determining that the request message includes a roaming CCA header, reading contents of the header. The method further includes authenticating the request message using the contents of the roaming CCA header. The method further includes, in response to successful authentication of the request message, generating a response message to the request message and transmitting the response message to the NRF in the second network.
