TC_UE_SEC_CAP_HANDLING_AMF
Purpose:
Verify that UE security capabilities invalid or unacceptable are not accepted by the AMF under test in registration procedure.
Pre-Conditions:
Test environment with (target) UE, which may be simulated.
The tester configures invalid/unacceptable UE security capabilities (no 5GS encryption algorithms (all bits zero), no 5GS integrity algorithms (all bits zero), mandatory 5GS encryption algorithms not supported or mandatory 5GS integrity algorithms not supported) on the UE.
Execution Steps
The UE sends UE security capabilities to the AMF under test using registration request message.
Expected Results:
The tester captures the Registration reject message sent by AMF under test to the UE.
Expected format of evidence
Evidence suitable for the interface, e.g., Screenshot containing the operational results.

4.2.2.7  RRCRestablishment in Control Plane CIoT 5GS Optimization  p. 18

Requirement Name:
RRCRestablishment in Control Plane CIoT 5GS Optimization
Requirement Reference:
TS 38.413, clause 8.3.8.2
Requirement Description:
"Upon receiving the RAN CP RELOCATION INDICATION message, the AMF shall authenticate the request using the NAS-level security information received in the UL CP Security Information IE and if the authentication is successful initiate the Connection Establishment Indication procedure including NAS-level security information in the DL CP Security Information IE.
In case the AMF cannot authenticate the UE's request, the CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT INDICATION message does not contain security information, and the NG-RAN node shall fail the RRC Re-establishment.
In case of authentication failure, the NG-RAN node and the AMF should locally release the allocated NG resources, if any." as specified in TS 38.413, clause 8.3.8.2.
Threat References:
TR 33.926, clause K.2.9.1 -Failed Verification of UE Identity during RRC Reestablishment Procedure for CP CIoT 5GS Optimization.
Test Case:
Test Name:
TC_AMF_REEST_CP_CIOT
Purpose:
To verify that the verification of RRC Reestablishment is applied correctly.
Pre-Condition:
Test environment with UE and ng-eNB, which may be simulated. The UE is using Control Plane CIoT 5GS Optimization.
  • AMF Capability:
    Ability to support the CIoT senario.
Execution Steps:
  1. Test Case 1
    1. The UE sends the RRC Connection Reestablishment Request message to the ng-eNB.
    2. The ng-eNB sends RAN CP RELOCATION INDICATION message to the AMF.
  2. Test Case 2
    1. The UE sends the RRC Connection Reestablishment Request message to the ng-eNB.
    2. The ng-eNB sends RAN CP RELOCATION INDICATION message to the AMF. The ng-eNB modifies UL NAS MAC in UL CP Security Information
Expected Results:
For test case 1, the AMF sends CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT INDICATION to the ng-eNB, and DL CP Security Information is included.
For test case 2, the AMF sends CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT INDICATION to the ng-eNB, and DL CP Security Information is not included.
Expected format of evidence:
Evidence suitable for the interface, e.g., Screenshot containing the operational results.

4.2.2.8.1  Validation of S-NSSAIs in PDU session establishment request  p. 19
Requirement Name:
validation of S-NSSAIs in PDU session establishment request
Requirement Reference:
TS 24.501, clause 5.4.5.2.5
Requirement Description:
"
13)
if the Request type IE is set to "initial request" and the S-NSSAI IE contains an S-NSSAI that is not allowed by the network, then the AMF shall send back to the UE the 5GSM message which was not forwarded as specified in subclause 5.4.5.3.1 case e) or case f);" as specified in TS 24.501, clause 5.4.5.2.5.
Threat References:
TR 33.926, clause K.2.10.1, Incorrect Validation of S-NSSAIs
Test Case:
Test Name:
TC_VALIDTATION_SNSSAI_IN_PDU_REQUEST
Purpose:
Verify that S-NSSAIs which are not within Allowed NSSAI list are not accepted by the AMF under test in PDU session establishment procedure.
Pre-Conditions:
Test environment with UE, UDM, SMF and NSSAAF, which may be simulated.
The tester configures UDM with an S-NSSAI that require Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorizationin in UE's subscription information.
  • AMF Capability:
    Ability to support Network Slice Specific Authentication and Authorization scenario.
Execution Steps
  1. Test Case 1
    1. The UE sends the S-NSSAI that require NSSAA to the AMF under test using registration request message.
    2. After receiving the NSSAA request from the AMF, the NSSAAF sends EAP success to AMF.
    3. The UE sends PDU session establishment request to the AMF with the S-NSSAI.
  2. Test Case 2
    1. The UE sends the S-NSSAI that require NSSAA to the AMF under test using registration request message.
    2. After receiving the NSSAA request from the AMF, the NSSAAF sends EAP failure to AMF.
    3. The UE sends PDU session establishment request to the AMF with the S-NSSAI.
Expected Results:
For test case 1, the AMF continues the PDU session establishment procedure by sending a Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request to the SMF.
For test case 2, the AMF aborts the PDU session establishment procedure by sending back the 5GSM message to the UE.
Expected format of evidence
Evidence suitable for the interface, e.g., Screenshot containing the operational results.

4.2.2.9.1  NSSAA revocation  p. 20
Requirement Name:
NSSAA revocation
Requirement Reference:
TS 33.501, clause 16.5
Requirement Description:
" If no S-NSSAI is left in Allowed NSSAI for an access after the revocation, and no Default NSSAI can be provided to the UE in the Allowed NSSAI or a previous NSSAA failed for the Default NSSAI over this access, then the AMF shall execute the Network-initiated Deregistration procedure for the access as described in subclause 4.2.2.3.3 of TS 23.502, and it shall include in the explicit De-Registration Request message the list of Rejected S-NSSAIs, each of them with the appropriate rejection cause value. "
as specified in TS 33.501, clause 16.5
Threat References:
TR 33.926, clause K.2
Test Case:
Test Name:
TC_NSSAA_REVOCATION
Purpose:
Verify that AMF deregisters UE when, after slice specific authorization revocation, there is no allowed NSSAI or Default NSSAI that can be used by UE.
Pre-Conditions:
Test environment with UE. The UE may be simulated.
The AMF under test is configured with one S-NSSAI in the Allowed NSSAI and no default S-NSSAI.
Execution Steps
A message requesting the AMF under test to revoke the authorization of the S-NSSAI in the Allowed NSSAI is simulated and sent the AMF under test.
Expected Results:
The Deregistration Request message is sent by the AMF under test to the UE.
Expected format of evidence:
Evidence suitable for the interface, e.g., Screenshot containing the operational results.
