“…The 5G MEC mobile networks can handle a wide range of use cases and services resulting from the needs of vertical industries [5]. Managing networks and services access control and supporting differentiation of availability becomes therefore necessary to maintain a stable state of the network during high traffic load with the necessary quality of service and constraints resulting from the security requirements of priority devices and services [7]. Therefore, the crucial security issue that must be addressed in 5G MEC networks is the management of security credentials, especially access permissions granted or obtained by the stakeholders assigned to different categories listed above.…”

MEC technology provides a distributed computing environment in 5G mobile networks for application and service hosting. It allows customers with different requirements and professional competencies to use the services offered by external suppliers. We consider a service access control framework on 5G MEC networks that is efficient, flexible, and user-friendly. Its central element is the MEC Enabler, which handles AAA requests for stakeholders accessing services hosted on the edge servers. The JSON Web Token (JWT) open standard is a suitable tool for the MEC Enabler to manage access control credentials and transfer them securely between parties. In this paper, in the context of access control, we propose the token reference pattern called JSON MEC Access Token (JMAT) and analyze the effectiveness of its available protection methods in compliance with the standard requirements of MEC-hosted services in 5G networks.
