Abstract
Network equipment is configured for use in one of multiple different core network domains of a wireless communication system. The network equipment is configured to receive a message that has been, or is to be, transmitted between the different core network domains. The network equipment is also configured to apply inter-domain security protection to, or remove inter-domain security protection from, one or more portions of the content of a field in the message according to a protection policy. The protection policy includes information indicating to which one or more portions of the content inter-domain security protection is to be applied or removed. The network equipment is also configured to forward the message, with inter-domain security protection applied or removed to the one or more portions, towards a destination of the message.
