3G Security; Specification of the A5/4 Encryption Algorithms for GSM and ECSD, and the GEA4 Encryption Algorithm for GPRS
This specification of the A5/4 encryption algorithms for GSM and ECSD, and of the GEA4 encryption algorithm for GPRS has been derived from TS 55.516 [1]: Specification of the A5/3 Encryption Algorithms for GSM and ECSD, and the GEA3 Encryption Algorithm for GPRS. The only essential change is the change of external key length input from 64 bits to 128 bits.
This document should be read in conjunction with the entire specification of the A5/3 and GEA3 algorithms:
- Specification of the A5/3 Encryption Algorithms for GSM and ECSD, and the GEA3 Encryption Algorithm for GPRS. Document 1: A5/3 and GEA3 Specifications.
- Specification of the A5/3 Encryption Algorithms for GSM and ECSD, and the GEA3 Encryption Algorithm for GPRS. Document 2: Implementors’ Test Data.
- Specification of the A5/3 Encryption Algorithms for GSM and ECSD, and the GEA3 Encryption Algorithm for GPRS. Document 3: Design Conformance Test Data.
The normative part of the specification of the block cipher (KASUMI) on which the A5/3, A5/4, GEA3 and GEA4 algorithms are based can be found in TS 35.202 [5].
