<p class="0abstractCxSpFirst">Long Term Evolution (LTE) of (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) is one of the modern steps in series of mobile telecommunications systems. That appears to be a strong technology that meets the requirements of fourth-generation (4G) mobile networks and supports authentication and encryption mechanisms between User Equipment (UE) and Message Management Entity (MME). This paper provides an overview of the three most important algorithms that are considered the heart of LTE cryptographic algorithms (SNOW3G, AES, and ZUC) and a comparison between cipher key length and initial vector length to generate keystream depending on the structure used for each algorithm as each algorithm has a time of complexity and space of complexity that differs from the other security algorithm.</p><p class="0abstractCxSpLast"><strong> </strong></p>
In the past two years, the demand for the use of mobile networks has increased, due to what the world has been exposed to in the face of the COVID-19 pan-demic and the lack of communication between people. People resorted to using of mobile networks in light of the pandemic, and their importance has appeared in several aspects, such as automotives, media and entertainment, and healthcare. This growing demand for the mobile network led to the actual development of the 4G network in terms of providing the speed of transmission and encryption data to maintain security. In this paper, a new member of the SNOW 3G family was proposed, which is one of the fourth generation algorithms called SNOW 3G-M, which has a higher encryption speed in line with the capacity of modern CPUs and is expected to be a move to the fifth generation communication system in the future. The SNOW 3G-M keystream passes all of the tests for long key stream data, short key stream data, and initialization vector data sets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
