High performance encryption cores for 3G networks
Tomás Balderas-Contreras, René Cumplido · 2005
This paper presents two novel and high performance hardware architectures, implemented in FPGA technology, for the KASUMI block cipher; this algorithm lies at the core of the confidentiality and integrity algorithms defined for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) standard. The first proposal is a pipelined design and the second implements an iterative approach. The throughput for these architectures turn out to be higher than the throughput achieved by other proposals.
