Internet protocol (ip) assignment and secure traffic for network elements deployed over untrusted transport network

Abstract

Embodiments of present disclosure disclose internet protocol (IP) assignment and secure traffic for network elements deployed over untrusted transport network. In an embodiment, base station () transmits an Open Cloud (O-cloud) available registration request to an operator network system () through First Secure Tunnel (FST) () established between operator network system () and base station (). The FST is terminated upon receiving network information related to each of plurality of O-cloud entities of O-cloud through FST from operator network system. Thereafter, base station () transmits second authentication request to operator network system for establishing Second Secure Tunnel (SST) () between operator network system and base station. Finally, base station establishes SST between operator network system and base station when network information is authenticated. The established SST allows bi-directional traffic related to each of plurality of O-cloud entities. The present disclosure helps in handling the traffic at the operator network system.
