4 Key Issues p. 8
4.1 Key Issues1: Support for GBA_U_APIs p. 8
Since the Ks_int_NAF is derived from the Long Term Key of the UICC, and the GBA mechanism is highly recognized, the APIs for Ks_int_NAF should be defined, so other applications could use the Ks_int_NAF for security purpose.
4.2 Key Issues2: Support for Access Control to GBA_U_APIs p. 8
When an application calls GBA_U_APIs, the Ks_int_NAF is required. Since Ks_int_NAF is associated with B-TID and NAF_ID, it is not allowed to use by all of applications. Therefore, access control should be supported to specify the AID that could call GBA_U_APIs with NAF_ID.
