    Abstract: Improved techniques for secure access control in communication systems are provided. In one example, in accordance with an authorization server function, a method comprises receiving a request from a service consumer in a communication system for access to a service type and one or more resources associated with the service type. The method determines whether the service consumer is authorized to access the service type and the one or more resources associated with the service type. The method generates an access token that identifies one or more service producers for the service type and the one or more resources associated with the service type that the service consumer is authorized to access, and sends the access token to the service consumer. The service consumer can then use the access token to access the one or more services and one or more resources. In addition to such resource level access authorization, target network function group access authorization can be performed.

    Abstract: Improved techniques for secure access control in communication systems are provided. Secure access control in one or more examples includes authorization of network function sets. For example, in accordance with an authorization server function, a method includes receiving a request from a service consumer in a communication system for access to a service type, wherein the request comprises information including a service producer set identifier. The method determines whether the service consumer is authorized to access the service type. The method identifies service producer instances that belong to the requested service producer set identifier. The method generates an access token that comprises identifiers for identified ones of the service producer instances that belong to the requested service producer set identifier, and sends the access token to the service consumer.

    Abstract: Improved security management techniques between user equipment and a communication system are provided. For example, techniques are provided for preventing malicious attacks via a user equipment deregistration process. In one example, a method comprises sending a deregistration request message from the given user equipment to a communication system to which the given user equipment is registered, wherein the deregistration request message is security-protected and comprises a temporary identifier assigned to the given user equipment. By not sending the deregistration request message with a subscription concealed identifier, the given user equipment prevents a malicious actor from succeeding with a deregistration attack replaying the subscription concealed identifier. Furthermore, by ignoring a deregistration request message with a subscription concealed identifier, an access and mobility N management element of the communication system prevents a malicious actor from succeeding with a deregistration attack replaying
