 # O-RAN-SC Non-RealTime RIC CAPIF Core implementation
 
-This product is a Go implementation of the CAPIF Core function, based on the 3GPP "29.222 Common API Framework for 3GPP Northbound APIs (CAPIF)" interfaces, see https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=3450.

-If Helm is used, before publishing a service, the chart that belongs to the service must be registered in ChartMuseum. When publishing the service the following information should be provided in the `ServiceAPIDescription::description` attribute; "namespace", "repoName", "chartName", "releaseName". An example of the information: "Description of rApp helloWorld,namespace,repoName,chartName,releaseName".

 ### Security in CAPIF
 
-Security requirements that are applicable to all CAPIF entities includes provide authorization mechanism for service APIs from the 3rd party API providers and support a common security mechanism for all API implementations to provide confidentiality and integrity protection.

 In the current implementation Keycloak is being used as identity and access management (IAM) solution that provides authentication, authorization, and user management for applications and services. Keycloak provides robust authentication mechanisms, including username/password, two-factor authentication, and client certificate authentication that complies with CAPIF security requirements.
