Abstract

A credential manager imports credentials for a network slice in response to deployment of the network slice. The credentials are not known to other network slices. A repository is configured to store the credentials and protect the credentials based on credential protection policies that are defined by a service profile of the network slice. The repository is implemented in the credential manager, an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server, or other location. Properties of the credentials are modified in response to a modification trigger and the credentials are withdrawn in response to a withdrawal trigger.
