Functional Description
This feature realizes UIA2, which is known as f9 and is specified in 3GPP R7. The
algorithm f9 is used to protect the integrity of the signalling sent between the UE and the
RNC.
The followings are the differences between UIA2 and UIA1:

1. UIA1 is KASUMI based algorithm and UIA2 is SNOW 3G based algorithm.

2. KASUMI is a Blockcipher with 64-bit block, 128-bit key. SNOW 3G is a 32-bit
word-oriented stream cipher generator with 128-bit key and 128-bit IV.

When a UE makes a connection with the UTRAN, the UE indicates the confidentiality and
integraty algorithms supported by the UE in MS/USIM Classmark. RNC compares the
information with the integrity capability when a user subscribes for the service and the
RNC capability, then a proper algorithm is selected. Thus more and more flexible integrity
algorithms are provided.
This feature complies with the security mechanism and SNOW 3G algorithms specified in
3GPP TS 33.102 TS 35.215~218 TS 35.919.

4.2 Steps for Test

1. UE1 make a CS 12.2k call to UE2 in Cell1. Check whether the UE support ‘Integrity
Protection Algorithm UIA2’ or not

2. Check the message MSC->RNC SecurityModeCommandMsg to verify UIA2.
