1. A method performed by an edge configuration server (ECS) for providing multi-access edge computing (MEC) services to a user equipment (UE) using a wireless network, the method comprising:
authenticating an edge enabler client (EEC) of the UE by establishing a security session with the EEC, based on an edge authentication key of the EEC;
generating at least one edge enabler server (EES) access token to be used to access to an EES; and
transmitting, to the EEC, a service response message including the at least one EES access token,
wherein the at least one EES access token is included in a registration request of the EEC to the EES.
