摘要

The present document proposes security procedures for 3GPP Common API Framework (CAPIF) to solve various security issues that can occur during various phases such as, (i) API invoker Onboarding, (ii) API invoker Offboarding, (iii) Service API publishing, (iv) Service API unpublishing, (v) Update service APIs, (vi) Service API discovery, (vii) API invoker obtaining authorization from CAPIF core function (CCF) to access service API, (viii) Authentication between API invoker and API exposing function (AEF) upon the service invocation, (ix) Retrieve service APIs, (x) CAPIF event subscription, (xi) CAPIF event unsubscription, and (xii) API invoker authorization to access service APIs.
