Study on new UICC application for NSSA
The aim of this Technical Report is to study the aspects for any potential enhancements on the UICC to be developed by CT6 based on the outcome of 3GPP TS 33.501. This work does not include selecting or standardizing any specific EAP method or associated EAP credential types for NSSAA.
For each of the objectives in the scope of the CT6 study, the UICC aspects that are to be covered in this study are as follows:
- Enhancements to support network slice-specific authentication and authorization using the UICC
- Study potential solutions for slice-specific authentication using new specific UICC application
- Study information the UICC application for NSSAA needs to contain
- Study information needed by the ME to select the correct UICC application used for NSSAA, in the case where multiple such UICC applications are available on the UICC. This information will not include UICC application selection based on a specific EAP method or type of EAP credentials.
- Study the interface that the new UICC application should feature in order to support NSSAA
Note: The study item in CT6 will not cover any security-related aspects within SA3's remit.
