128-NEA1

SNOW 3G Encryption Algorithm

Stream cipher based on SNOW 3G algorithm using a 128-bit key for NAS and AS data encryption.

Technical Explanation

128-NEA1 is based on the SNOW 3G synchronous stream cipher. Inherited from 3G/4G standards, it provides high hardware implementation efficiency and is widely deployed across telecommunication ASICs worldwide.

Key Functions

  • Synchronous stream cipher based on 128-bit SNOW 3G algorithm
  • Provides high-throughput stream encryption in hardware basebands
  • Standardized for NAS signaling and radio AS user plane encryption
