Question: What is the primary outcome for fully standardized cryptographic algorithm specifications in 3GPP, in terms of their publication and subsequent exposure?
Option 1: They are shared confidentially among 3GPP member companies to prevent external scrutiny.
Option 2: They are implemented directly into network infrastructure without public disclosure.
Option 3: They undergo a closed evaluation process with select industry experts only.
Option 4: They are published as a 3GPP specification, making them open for public evaluation and potential criticism.
Explanation: This is correct because fully standardized algorithm specifications are intentionally made public through 3GPP specifications. This openness allows for broad evaluation but also means the algorithms may face public criticism, which then needs to be managed by an appropriate body within 3GPP. This approach aligns with principles of transparency and peer review in cryptographic standards development.
