DISCOVERY METHOD AND APPARATUS BASED ON SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The present application provides a discovery method and apparatus based on a service-oriented architecture. In the method, a control network element sends a discovery response to a first functional network element, the discovery response comprising a determined security parameter and an access address or identifier of a second functional network element; the first functional network element receives the discovery response sent by the control network element, and sends an access request to the second functional network element according to the address or identifier of the second functional network element comprised in the discovery response, the access request comprising the received security parameter; and the second functional network element receives the access request sent by the first functional network element, verifies the accuracy of the security parameter, and determines, based on the accuracy of the security parameter, whether the access request is authorized by the first functional network element. According to the present application, the number of communications can be reduced to a certain extent, and the communication complexity is reduced.
