Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for administering an interface between a machine-to-machine, M2M, device and a network application function, NAF, for secure communication between the M2M device and the NAF. In one method, the M2M device comprises security information for enabling secure communication via the interface, and administers the interface by: setting a secure interface lifetime parameter based on a lifetime of at least part of the security information; and transmitting administration data to the NAF, wherein the administration data comprises the secure interface lifetime parameter.
