The SNOW 3G Encryption Core delivers robust security for wireless communication through the implementation of the SNOW 3G stream cipher. This core is aligned with the ETSI SAGE specification, ensuring high compliance and effectiveness in keystream generation for 3GPP LTE algorithms. The design is optimized to operate with a 128-bit key and IV, producing 32-bit blocks of keystream, making it particularly suitable for high-throughput mobile communication systems. With a compact design requiring only 7,500 gates, it supports data rates up to 7.5 Gbps, ensuring fast and efficient processing. Enhanced versions of this core also support confidentiality and integrity algorithms, offering a comprehensive solution for modern mobile networks. The core is structured for portability across various digital platforms, providing seamless integration and consistent performance across different hardware configurations.
