What algorithm is utilized for encryption in GSM networks?

The encryption algorithm used in the GSM system is a stream cipher known as the A5 algorithm. Multiple versions of the A5 algorithm exist which implement various levels of encryption. A5/0 utilizes no encryption. A5/1 is the original A5 algorithm used in Europe. A5/2 is a weaker encryption algorithm created for export and used in … Continue reading What algorithm is utilized for encryption in GSM networks?
