ZUC Algorithm:3GPP LTE International Encryption Standard
Xiutao Feng · Information Security and Communications Privacy · 2011
The ZUC algorithm,a stream cipher designed by Chinese cryptogists,is accepted by the 3GPP LTE as the international encryption standard for the 4G mobile communication.The ZUC algorithm is the first crypto algorithm designed by Chinese cryptologists and accepted as an international standard.The success of its standardization is an important breakthrough in the field of commercial crypto algorithm,and reflects China's opening in commercial crypto application and high capability in the design of commercial crypto algorithms,and these would inevitably raise the impact of China in the field of international communication security applications.This paper gives a brief description of ZUC and its properties.
