name: NE
full_form: Network Entity
context: In this case there is no need for cross-certification. Both end entity certificates belong to the same administrative domain and thus authorization check resolves to the same top level CA. The following is the flow of connection negotiation from the point of view of NE-A (initiator). NE-B (or SEG-B) from the same domain (responder) shall behave in a similar fashion. In case of any failure in following steps, NE A will treat this as an error and abort the procedure. - During connection initiation, the initiating Operator A's NE-A provides its own NE certificate and the corresponding digital signature in the IKE_AUTH exchange for IKEv2; - NE A receives the NE B (or SEG B) certificate and signature; - NE A verifies the NE B (or SEG B) signature; - NE A checks the validity of the NE B (or SEG B) certificate by a revocation check to the CRL databases or OCSP server of the same domain. If a NE cannot successfully perform the CRL check, it shall treat this as an error and abort tunnel
description: A Network Entity (NE) is a network component that participates in the negotiation of secure connections, such as IKEv2, and verifies the certificates and digital signatures of other NEs within the same administrative domain.
explanation: The text describes a Network Entity (NE) as a component responsible for establishing and securing connections with other NEs. This function aligns with the definition of a Network Function.
