Abstract
A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to: receive, from an Application Function (AF), a request for an Authentication and Key Management for Applications (AKMA) Application key; and determine whether a User Equipment device (UE) that sent a session request to the AF is attached to a visiting network or a home network. When the UE is determined to be attached to the visiting network, the processor may be configured to: determine whether to include the AKMA application key in a first reply to the AF; and send the first reply to the AF. When the UE is determined to be attached to the home network, the processor may be configured to: obtain the AKMA application key; and send a second reply that includes the AKMA application key to the AF.
