Hardware Implementation of ZUC Stream Cipher

Abstract

This research aims to generate key for network security to long term evolution network/radio network. In this project a hardware implementation of ZUC Stream cipher is designed. ZUC is a stream cipher that forms the heart to the 3GPP confidentiality algorithm 128-EEA3 and the 3GPP integrity algorithm 128-EIA3, offer in reliable security services in Long Term Evolution networks (LTE). A detailed hardware implementation is shown in order to reach satisfactory performance results in LTE systems. The design was coded using VHDL language and for the hardware implementation, a XILINX Spartan-3FPGA was used. Experimental results in terms of performance and hardware resources are shown.
