Patent ID: 10735956

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). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method of a terminal according to the present disclosure includes: transmitting connection request messages for network slices, which are networks constructed for each service, to a network; receiving response messages including identifiers of the network slices from a base station; and generating security contexts for each network slice based on at least one of the identifiers of the network slices and tokens generated during an authentication process with a third party.
