Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/142555
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present application relates to the technical field of virtualized resource orchestration and operation. Disclosed are a method, device and system for establishing a secure data connection between a VNFM and a VNF. The method comprises: during the deployment of a VNF, sending first encryption configuration information to the VNF, wherein indication information in the first encryption configuration information is used for indicating whether a VNFM supports an encryption function; receiving second encryption configuration information sent by the VNF, wherein the second encryption configuration information is used for indicating whether the VNF supports the encryption function; if it is determined that both the VNFM and the VNF support the encryption function, sending a password to the VNF in the form of ciphertext; and if it is determined that at least one of the VNFM and the VNF does not support the encryption function, sending the password to the VNF in the form of plaintext.
