1. A method for the integration of a software defined perimeter (SDP) for network applications in a 5G/6G telecommunications network, the method comprising:
receiving a registration request from a radio access network (RAN) component of a telecommunications network, into a core access and mobility management function (AMF) of a core network component of the telecommunications network;
routing the request to an SDP controller in the core network component;
transmitting an authentication request, over a virtual private network (VPN) coupling between a main controller and the SDP controller, on behalf of the user equipment (UE) and an end user associated with the UE; and,
responsive to an authentication by the main controller, generating by the SDP controller both an SDP encapsulating a set of network resources of the telecommunications network within the SDP supporting microservices accessible by the UE, and a secure tunnel over which no other device is granted access between the UE and a gateway in a data plane of the telecommunications network,
wherein the gateway moderates subsequent data flows between the UE and the microservices.
