0 Introduction p. 4

This Report has been produced by ETSI SAGE Task Force for the design of the GSM A5/3 and GEA3 encryption algorithms.

The work described in this report was undertaken in response to a request made by Security Group GSM Association. The work was done under supervision of the ETSI Mobile Competence Centre (MCC) and the GSM Association.

1 Scope p. 5

This Technical Report has been prepared by the ETSI SAGE GSM A5/3 Task Force, and gives a detailed report on the design and evaluation of the A5/3 encryption algorithms for GSM and ECSD, and of the GEA3 encryption algorithm for GPRS (including EGPRS).
