name: CM
full_form: Certificate Management
context: the attestation results are maintained by the Attestation Verifier for subsequent access [17]. 3. CM proxy is provisioned through OAM procedure with necessary information. The necessary information includes initial credential to be used by CM proxy to setup secure communication channel with NF. For example, if TLS is used as a secure communication channel between NF and CM proxy, the CM proxy can verify the TLS server certificate of the NF using a preconfigured root certificate in the CM proxy. The necessary information also includes NF identities (e.g., FQDNs to be presented in the certificate). 4. (Optional when attestation is in use) CM proxy acting as Relying Party can verify VNF based on attestation result and decide whether the NF is eligible for certification or not. 5. CM proxy registers NF end-entity to CA/RA. The identities of NF end-entity (got from previous steps) are registered to CA/RA. 6. CA/RA provides authentication credentials to the CM proxy. Depends on the
description: Certificate Management (CM) is a network function responsible for managing certificates and secure communication channels between network functions (NFs). It provisions necessary information, such as initial credentials and NF identities, to setup secure communication channels with NFs. CM also verifies the eligibility of NFs for certification based on attestation results.
explanation: CM is classified as a Network Function because it plays a crucial role in managing certificates and secure communication channels between NFs, which is essential for network operations and security.
