Abstract:
A method and apparatus for protecting a payload sent between a client device and a Network Application Function node (NAF) in a communications network. At either of the client device and the NAF a determination is made that no existing Security Association (SA) identifier between the client device and the NAF is locally available. An identifier embryo is obtained and an SA identifier is constructed using the identifier embryo. Payload sent between the client device and the NAF is protected using an SA associated with the constructed SA identifier.
