GeneralDescription
The3GPPisactivelyworkingontheLTE Advancedtechnology.Thegoalsinclude peakdataratesof1Gbps insupportofthe 4Grequirements,fasterswitchingbetween powerstatesandimprovedperformanceat thecelledge. The h LTE Esystemsecurityarchitecture h alreadyincludestwosetsofstandardized confidentialityandintegrityalgorithms (128EEA1/128EIA1,128EEA2/128EIA2). Morerecently,anewsetofsecurity algorithmsisbeingstandardizedfor 3GPP/LTE/LTEAwirelessnetworks acceptabletotheChinesemarket: 128EEA3:confidentialityalgorithm 128EIA3:integrityalgorithm Thenewalgorithmsarebasedonthekey streamgeneratorZUC(namedafter5th centuryChineseastronomerand mathematicianZu Chongzhi). ZUCiswordorientedanditgeneratesa keystreamof32bitwordsbasedontwo stagesofexecution.Theconfidentiality algorithm128EEA3isastreamcipher thatencrypts/decryptsdatabasedona confidentialitykey.Theintegrity algorithm128EIA3generatesa32bit MessageAuthenticationCode(MAC) basedonanintegritykey. TheCLP411coresupportsthe128 EEA3and128EIA3algorithms,aswell astheZUCkeystreamgenerator. Thecores architectureislookaside based,complementingEllipticsinline orflowthrougharchitectures architectures.
