Abstract
A service coordinating entity device includes communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network, processing circuitry, and a memory device. The processing circuitry is to perform operations to, in response to a request for establishing a connection with a user equipment (UE) in a second access network, retrieve a first Trusted Level Agreement (TLA) including trust attributes associated with the first access network. One or more exchanges of the trust attributes of the first TLA and trust attributes of a second TLA associated with the second access network are performed using a computing service executing on the service coordinating entity. A common TLA with trust attributes associated with communications between the first and second access networks is generated based on the exchanges. Data traffic is routed from the first access network to the UE in the second access network based on the trust attributes of the common TLA.
