Requirement Name:
No de-registration during the authentication
Requirement Reference:
clause 6.1.1 of TS 33.203
Requirement Description:
"It should be noted that the UE initiated re-registration opens up a potential denial-of-service attack. That is, an attacker could try to register an already registered IMPU and respond with an incorrect authentication response in order to make the HN de-register the IMPU. For this reason a subscriber, when registered, shall not be de-registered if it fails an authentication."
as specified in clause 6.1.1 of TS 33.203.

  • The UE supporting IMS AKA has already been registered into the IMS network.
  • The tester shall have access to the Mw interface between the P-CSCF and S-CSCF.
  • The tester shall have access to the Cx interface between the HSS and S-CSCF.
Execution Steps
  1. During a new IMS AKA procedure, the UE initiates the re-registration scenario, the tester sends a SM7 register message including the IMPI, and an incorrect authentication response.
  2. The S-CSCF under test retrieves the active XRES for that user and uses this to check the received authentication response
Expected Results:
The S-CSCF sends a 4xx Auth_Failure towards the UE indicating that authentication has failed.
The S-CSCF does not initiate de-registration procedure within the Registration expiration interval defined in TS 24.229, i.e. send either Cx-Put (Public User Identity, Private User Identity, clear S-CSCF name) or Cx-Put (Public User Identity, Private User Identity, keep S-CSCF name) to the HSS. Or, the IMPU status in the HSS is registered within the Registration expiration interval defined in TS 24.229.

TC_ENCRYPTION IN NETWORK HIDING
Purpose:
Verify the IBCF encrypts the hiding information elements when the IBCF forwards SIP Request or Response messages to the outside of the hiding network's domain, in cases of the network hiding mechanism is used and the operator policy states that the topology shall be hidden.
Verify the IBCF decrypts those information elements that were encrypted by the IBCF in this hiding network domain when the IBCF receives a SIP Request or Response message from the outside of the hiding network's domain, in cases of the network hiding mechanism is used and the operator policy states that the topology shall be hidden.
Procedure and execution steps:
Pre-Conditions:
  • IBCF network products are connected in simulated/real network environment.
  • The encryption of the hiding information as the network hiding mechanism is configured to be used and the operator policy is configured that the topology shall be hidden.
  • The same encryption and decryption key Kv is configured on the IBCFs under test by the tester.
  • The encryption algorithm is configured on the IBCF under test by the tester.
  • The network element in the hiding network's domain may be simulated.
  • The network element outside the hiding network's domain may be simulated.
  • The tester has access to the interface between the element in the hiding network's domain and IBCF.
  • The tester has access to the interface between the element outside the hiding network's domain and IBCF.
Execution Steps:
Test case 1: The IBCF forwards SIP messages to the outside of the hiding network's domain
  1. The network element in the hiding network's domain sends a SIP message which contains hiding information elements (e.g. addresses of SIP proxies) to the IBCF under test.
  2. The IBCF under test forwards the SIP message to the network element outside the hiding network's domain.
  3. The tester examines the SIP message forwarded to the network element outside the hiding network's domain.
Test case 2: The IBCF forwards SIP messages to the hiding network's domain
  1. The network element outside the hiding network's domain sends a SIP message which contains information elements that were encrypted by the IBCF in this hiding network domain to the IBCF under test.
  2. The IBCF under test forwards the SIP message to the network element in the hiding network's domain.
  3. The tester examines the SIP message forwarded to the network element in the hiding network's domain.
Expected Results:
For Test case 1, the IBCF under test encrypts the hiding information elements when the IBCF under test forwards the SIP message to the network element outside the hiding network's domain.
For Test case 2, the IBCF under test decrypts those information elements that were encrypted by the IBCF in this hiding network domain when the IBCF under test forwards the SIP message to the network element in the hiding network's domain.

Requirement Name:
User authorization
Requirement Reference:
Clause 5.7.1.5 of TS 24.229
Requirement Description:
"If the user is considered anonymous, the AS shall check whether the authorization policy defined for this request allows anonymous requests. If anonymous requests are allowed, then the AS can proceed with the requested functionality, otherwise, the AS shall not proceed with the requested functionality.
…
If the request is not authorized, the AS shall either:
  • reject the request according to the procedures defined for that request e.g., by issuing a 403 (Forbidden) response; or
  • send a 2xx final response if the authorization policy requires to deny the requested functionality, whilst appearing to the user as if the request has been granted. "
