    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network, the method comprising: establishing a communication with an application function (AF) server using a first authentication and key management for applications (AKMA) application key (KAF); receiving a message over the established communication from the AF server, the message indicating that a lifetime of the first KAF has expired; and configuring a back-off flag in the UE to optimize an AKMA key refresh mechanism in the wireless network in response to receiving the message, wherein the back-off flag prevents a request for a first AKMA anchor key (KAKMA) until a fresh primary authentication is performed.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a 5G communication system or a 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G communication system such as long term evolution (LTE).
    The present disclosure provides a system and method for security protocol implemented in a communication network. The method performed by a first network entity includes determining based on a HUB being in a trusted area or in a non-trusted area, whether one or more network functions (NFs) are configured to perform security operations based on a generation of a message by a corresponding one or more NFs. Determining, based on a result of the determination that one or more NFs are not configured to perform the security operation, one or more network entities that are configured to perform the security operation, wherein the one or more network entities comprises at least one of the HUB, a Central Unit User Plane (CU-UP), and a Distributed Unit (DU), wherein a plurality of security keys are generated by the determined one or more network entities, and wherein the generated plurality of security keys is shared with a user equipment (UE).

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). Embodiments herein provide method and system for end-to-end security over signaling plane in a mission critical data (MCData) communication system. The proposed method includes various ways of securing MCData data payload transmitted over signaling plane using short data service (SDS). The proposed method allows usage of multiple security keys to encrypt the MCData SDS message as per the requirements. Various Keys such as, signaling plane key or media plane key or a dedicated MCData data payload signaling key can be used independently or in a combination thereof to achieve the desired security context. The proposed method allows protection of all the application level components with the signaling plane security context.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The embodiments herein relate to wireless communication system and more particularly relates to a method for coordination of Radio Resource Control (RRC) configurations between interworking nodes in dual connectivity in wireless communication system. The method includes determining, by a secondary node, whether a signaling radio bearer (SRB) of a secondary node is pre-configured in a secondary cell group (SCG), deciding, by the secondary node, to perform secondary node modification to a user equipment (UE) in response to determining that the SRB of the secondary node is pre-configured, transmitting, by the secondary node, a RRC connection reconfiguration message to the UE without coordinating with a master node and receiving, by the secondary node, a RRC connection reconfiguration complete message from the UE.
