Abstract:
A network function (NF) entity in a communication network determines a User Equipment (UE) supports a blockchain authentication procedure, exchanges authentication messages with a Blockchain Authentication Function (BAF) entity over a blockchain network interface (e.g., based on the blockchain authentication procedure), receives a blockchain authentication confirmation from the BAF entity, and registers the UE based on the blockchain authentication confirmation.

Claim (Index 19):
The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of  claim 18 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor to exchange authentication messages with the BAF entity, are further operable to:\n select an Authentication Server Function (AUSF) entity to perform the blockchain authentication procedure; and send a blockchain authentication request to the AUSF entity to cause the AUSF entity to authenticate the UE with the BAF entity over a blockchain network interface, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor to receive the authentication confirmation message are further operable to receive the authentication confirmation from the AUSF entity.
