Abstract
Methods and network nodes of a wireless communications network are disclosed. The network nodes are operable to initiate a plurality of authentication mechanisms. Responsive to receipt of a request for authentication transmitted by a terminal device of the wireless communications network, the network nodes are configured to select an authentication mechanism from the plurality of authentication mechanisms; and are further configured to initiate the selected authentication mechanism to authenticate the terminal device with the wireless communications network.
