name: AKRS
full_form: AKMA Key Repository Service
context: In order to support the functionality of established key usage, an AKMA Key Repository Service (AKRS) is included in the AKMA Architecture. In this version of the architecture, the AKRS connects to the SEAF. This architecture option is therefore called the 'Serving Network'-option. The AKRS has the following functionality: - Offering an interface to the AAuF to retrieve a KAKMA derived from KSEAF for AKMA purposes; - Storing the KSEAF Note: Storage of the KSEAF is offered in the SEAF already, so colocation of this service with the SEAF would reduce duplicate storage. The service can be collocated with the AMF/SEAF but can also be run standalone. In this solution, collocation is assumed, and the service is referred to as AKRS. The figure 5.16.2.1.1-1 below illustrates the proposed architecture. Figure 5.16.2.1.1-1: Architecture showing collocated AKRS and connections to the AauF
description: The AKMA Key Repository Service (AKRS) is a network function responsible for storing and managing keys, specifically KSEAF, and providing an interface for the AAuF to retrieve derived KAKMA keys. It can be collocated with the SEAF or run standalone.
explanation: The context explicitly describes AKRS as a service within the AKMA Architecture that connects to the SEAF, offering specific functionality such as key storage and retrieval. This description aligns with the characteristics of a Network Function, which includes components within telecommunications networks responsible for managing and controlling network operations.
