EVOLVED-5G - Security measures to handle identity and access management to ensure the robustness of the 5G ecosystem

The use case describes the utilisation of OpenID Connect (OIDC), which is an identity layer on top of OAuth2.0 which extends the security capabilities. The identity layer creates a solid foundation for future machine learning implementations that scale well with the incredible number of logs that can be generated for each identity in the context of mobile networks. Furthermore, OIDC enables single sign-on (SSO) between providers to further evolve the authentication process. An additional security measure has been implemented that revokes access by forcefully de-authenticating invokers that either attempt to access inexistent endpoints or attempt to access existing endpoints with disallowed methods.
