Information on Security

GSM provides a number of security services, including:

  • authentication (A3)
  • key generation (A8)
  • encryption (A5)
  • limited anonymity

    •      The algorithms used in GSM for authentication, key generation and encryption have never been officially released. Based on leaked documents, some cryptography experts have questioned the level of security provided by GSM.
