Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method (600) and a system (108) for authenticating at least one Network Function (NF) in a network (106). A distributed NF receives a service request from the at least one NF. Upon reception, the distributed NF determines whether one or more configured parameters, are present in the received request. Based on this determination, the distributed NF verifies one or more authentication credentials associated with the identified parameters. Upon successful verification of the authentication credentials, the distributed NF processes the received request to authenticate the NF, thereby ensuring secure inter-NF communication. If configured parameters are absent, the distributed NF may retrieve predefined global parameters from a database to authenticate the at least one NF. FIG.4
