Abstract

In this paper, we will present the design and implementation of the KASUMI crypto algorithm and confidentiality algorithm (f8) to an hardware chip for 3GPP system. The f8 algorithm is based on the KASUMI which is a block cipher that produces a 64-bit output from a 64-bit input under the control of a 128-bit key. Various architectures (low hardware complexity version and high performance version) of the KASUMI are made with a Xilinx FPGA and the characteristics such as hardware complexity and thor performance are analyzed.
