33.3033GPPProximity-based services (ProSe)Release 17Security aspectsTS

For EPC support for WLAN Direct Discovery, the security mechanisms as defined for EPC-level ProSe Discovery (clause 6.3) apply.

For EPC support for WLAN Direct communication, based on the UEs WLAN security capabilities the ProSe Function may provide only such WLAN security parameters to the ProSe-enabled UEs that ensure confidentiality and integrity of the ProSe-assisted WLAN direct communication path to a level comparable with that provided by the existing 3GPP system.

NOTE: Release 12 does not provide stage 3 specification.
