Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate in a 5G network and perform authentication and authorization between an edge enabler client (EEC) of the UE and an edge configuration server (ECS), the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by the UE, cause the UE to:
perform primary authentication with the 5G network to obtain a KAUSF;
generate a Kedge and a Kedge identifier (ID) using the KAUSF and a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI);
provide the Kedge and the Kedge ID to the EEC to cause it to compute a MACEEC using the Kedge and an EEC ID; and
send to the ECS an application registration request in a non-access stratum (NAS) message or a user-plane message, the application registration request including the EEC ID, the MACEEC, and the Kedge ID.
