The new stream cipher algorithm ZUC has been adopted to be the kernel of the third set of the LTE cryptographic algorithms. These security algorithms are used to ensure the data confidentiality and integrity protection during its transmission over the air interface in the LTE Network. In the present paper, we are interested in studying the internal structure of ZUC algorithm and its different operation modes. In addition, we will focus on its analytical evaluation to give a clear idea of its efficiency.
