Abstract:
Methods, network nodes, computer programs, carrier and user equipment, wherein a proof-of-presence in communications between private land mobile networks (PLMNs) is presented. In an example method performed by a network node in a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) of a user equipment (UE), the network node obtains, from a visited public land mobile network (VPLMN), a proof-of-presence indicator that represents the UE as being present in the VPLMN. The network node verifies whether or not the UE is present in the VPLMN by determining whether or not the proof-of-presence indicator was generated by the UE using a secret shared between the UE and at least the HPLMN. Upon verification of the presence of the UE in the VPLMN, sensitive information can be communicated by the HPLMN to the VPLMN.
