Abstract
In some implementations, a device in a first public land mobile network (PLMN) may receive a request for services with a network function producer (NF-P) in the first PLMN, wherein the request for services includes a first token that is associated with a network function consumer (NF-C) in a second PLMN. The device may validate the first token using a signing certificate associated with a signer of the first token. The device may transmit the request for services to the NF-P, wherein the request for services includes a second token that is based on a successful validation of the first token, and a successful validation of the second token enables the NF-P to provide a service to the NF-C based on an authorization of the NF-C during an inter-PLMN roaming.
