Abstract: 祖冲之算法,简称ZUC,是一个面向字设计的序列密码算法,其在128b种子密钥和128b初始向量控制下输出32b的密钥字流.祖冲之算法于2011年9月被3GPP LTE采纳为国际加密标准(标准号为TS 35.221),即第4代移动通信加密标准,2012年3月被发布为国家密码行业标准(标准号为GMT 0001—2012),2016年10月被发布为国家标准(标准号为GBT 33133—2016).简单介绍了祖冲之算法,并总结了其设计思想和国内外对该算法安全性分析的主要进展.

摘要: The ZUC algorithm is a word oriented stream cipher, which outputs a 32b key word stream under the control of a 128b seed key and a 128b initial vector. ZUC was adopted as the encryption standard(Grant TS 35.221) by 3GPP LTE in September 2011, i.e., the 4th mobile communication encryption standard, and issued as the national cipher industry standard(Grant GMT 0001—2012) in March 2012 and as the national standard(Grant GBT 33133—2016) in October 2016 respectively. In this paper the ZUC algorithm is recalled simply, and then the idea of its design and main progress on its security analysis are surveyed.Key words3GPP LTE; 4G mobile communication; confidentiality and integrity algorithm; stream cipher; ZUC
