Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may configure an indication associated with network slice information. The UE may determine, based on the indication, that the network slice information is subject to network slice-specific authentication and authorization (NSSAA). Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine an authentication credential associated with network slice information, and transmit, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), an indication related to an availability of an authentication credential associated with the network slice information. The UE may access a network slice associated with the network slice information based on the NSSAA of the network slice information.
