1. A method, comprising:
performing a first bootstrapping procedure with a first edge server, the first bootstrapping procedure including generating a first key;
generating a first authentication code for a first edge enabler client (EEC) operating at a user equipment (UE), wherein the first authentication code is for use with the first edge server;
transmitting a first registration request for the first EEC to the first edge server, the first registration request including the first authentication code;
receiving, from the first edge server, a first registration success message comprising first information for authenticating with a second edge server;
generating a second authentication code for the first EEC, wherein the second authentication code is for use with the second edge server;
transmitting a second registration request for the first EEC to the second edge server, the second registration request including the second authentication code;
receiving, from the second edge server, a second registration success message comprising second information for discovery of a third edge server; and
discovering the third edge server using the second information.
