Embodiment Construction

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology can be simply understood as the migration of the functions of each network element used in a telecommunications network from the current dedicated hardware platform to a general-purpose commercial-off-the-shelf product (Commercial-off-the-shelf, COTS) server. Through NFV technology, each network element used in the telecommunications network is transformed into an independent application, which can be flexibly deployed on a unified infrastructure platform based on standard servers, storage, switches and other equipment, and through virtualization technology, infrastructure Hardware device resource pooling and virtualization, providing virtual resources for upper-la...

Abstract

An initialization credentials generating method and a device for a virtual network function (VNF), used for reducing the probability that a public key is exposed. The method comprises: in a VNF instantiating process, generating by a virtual network function instance (VNFI) a first public key of the VNF and a report, the report and the first public key satisfying a set function relationship; and transmitting by the VNFI the first public key and the report to a management device of the VNFI so that the management device uses the received report to perform authentication on the received first public key.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a method and device for generating an initialization credential for a virtual network function (VNF). Background technique [0002] The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has formulated protocol standards for Telecom Network Functions Virtualization (Network Functions Virtualization, NFV). Through the standards formulated by ETSI NFV, capabilities such as network virtualization, flexible deployment, and flexible capacity expansion can be realized. During the network deployment process, a corresponding virtual network function (Virtualized Network Function, VNF) needs to be deployed, and a corresponding VNF instance (Virtualized Network Function Infrastructure, VNFI) will also be instantiated. After the VNF is instantiated, if the VNFI needs to establish a communication channel with the VNFI management device, the management device needs...
