4 Overview
4.1 General
The overall architecture for 5G ProSe is given in TS 23.304 [2]. 5G ProSe includes several features that may be
deployed independently of each other. For this reason, no overall security architecture is provided and each feature
describes its own architecture.
Security for the 5G ProSe common procedures is described in clause 5, while the overall security of the 5G ProSe
features is described in clause 6.
4.2 Reference points and functional entities
4.2.1 Functional entities
4.2.1.1 General
Architectural reference model is specified in clause 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 4.2.7 of TS 23.304 [2].
4.2.1.2 5G ProSe Key Management Function
In addition to the architectural reference model specified in TS 23.304 [2], the architectural reference model shall
support the functional entity 5G ProSe Key Management Function (5G PKMF) which is the logical function handling
network related actions required for the key management and the security material for discovery of a 5G ProSe UE-to-
Network Relay by a 5G ProSe Remote UE, and for establishing a secure PC5 communication link between a 5G ProSe
Remote UE and 5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relay.
The 5G ProSe Remote UE and the 5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relay know from which 5G ProSe Key Management
Function(s) to get the needed discovery security materials for protecting discovery messages and UP-PRUK(s) for
establishing a secure PC5 link between the 5G ProSe Remote UE and the UE-to-Network Relay as the address of the
5G PKMF(s) is either pre-provisioned or provided by the 5G DDNMF (or the PCF) in the HPLMN of the 5G ProSe
Remote UE to the 5G ProSe Remote UE, and by the 5G DDNMF (or the PCF) in the HPLMN of the 5G ProSe UE-to-
Network Relay to the 5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relay.
The 5G PKMF interacts with the 5G ProSe-enabled UE using procedures over PC8 reference point defined in
clause 4.2.2. The protection for the key request/response messages are described in clause 5.2.5.
The 5G PKMF of the 5G ProSe Remote UE shall request the discovery security materials from the 5G PKMFs of the
potential 5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relays from which the 5G ProSe Remote UE gets the relay services.
The 5G PKMF of the 5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relay shall request the security materials (e.g. Knrp and Knrp freshness
parameter) from the 5G PKMF of the 5G ProSe Remote UE for PC5 communication.
ETSI
3GPP TS 33.503 version 17.2.0 Release 17 11 ETSI TS 133 503 V17.2.0 (2023-01)
4.2.1.3 Prose Anchor Function
In addition to the architectural reference model specified in TS 23.304 [2], the architectural reference model shall
support the functional entity Prose Anchor Function (PAnF) which is the logical function handling network related
actions required for the key management and the security material for establishing a secure PC5 communication link
between a 5G ProSe Remote UE and 5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relay over Control Plane.
The PAnF shall store the Prose context info (i.e. SUPI, RSC, CP-PRUK, CP-PRUK ID) for a 5G ProSe Remote UE.
The PAnF interacts with AUSF using procedures over Npc11 reference point defined in clause 4.2.2. The PAnF
interacts with UDM using procedures over Npc12 reference point defined in clause 4.2.2.
4.2.2 Reference points
In addition to the reference points are specified in clause 4.2.5 of TS 23.304 [2], the 5G Prose architectural reference
model shall support the following reference points:
PC8: The reference point between the UE and the 5G ProSe Key Management Function (5G PKMF). PC8 relies on
5GC user plane for transport (i.e. an "over IP" reference point). It is used to transport security material to UEs for
5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relay discovery and communication.
Npc9: The reference point between the 5G PKMF of the 5G ProSe Remote UE and the 5G PKMF of the 5G ProSe
UE-to-Network Relay. It is used to transport security material between two 5G PKMFs.
Npc10: The reference point between the UDM and the 5G PKMF. It is used to de-conceal SUCI to gain SUPI,
obtain a GBA Authentication Vector (AV) for a UE, or request relay service authorization information from the
UDM.
Npc11: The reference point between the AUSF and Prose Anchor Function (PAnF). It is used to store the Prose
context info for a 5G ProSe Remote UE.
Npc12: The reference point between the PAnF and UDM. It is used to check with the UDM whether the Remote
UE is authorized to use the UE-to-Network Relay service.
5 Common security procedures
5.1 General
This clause describes the security requirements and procedures that are commonly applied to different modes of ProSe
communication, including unicast mode ProSe Direct Network Communication and unicast mode ProSe Indirect
Network Communication via the 5G ProSe UE-to-Network Relay.
5.2 Network domain security
5.2.1 General
5G Prose uses several interfaces between network entities, e.g. Npc4 between the 5G DDNMF and the UDM, Npc8
between the 5G DDNMF and the PCF (see TS 23.304 [2]). This clause describes the security for those interfaces.
5.2.2 Security of Npc2 reference point
5.2.2.1 General
Npc2 is the reference point between the ProSe Application Server and the 5G DDNMF as specified in clause 4 of
TS 23.304 [2]. When the ProSe Application Server is in a 3rd party's network, the Npc2 comprises two interfaces, i.e.
the service-based interface between the 5G DDNMF and the NEF, and the N33 interface between the NEF and the
ETSI
3GPP TS 33.503 version 17.2.0 Release 17 12 ETSI TS 133 503 V17.2.0 (2023-01)
Prose Application Server. When the Prose Application Server is in a MNO's network, the Npc2 is a purely service-
based interface.
5.2.2.2 Security requirements
When the ProSe Application Server is controlled by a 3rd party, requirements on security aspects of NEF are captured
