Hi.

This depends on your provider.

Kc - per definition - has 64 bit width and is being calculated by the
providers private A3A8 algorithm. Since the A3A8 implementation is up to
the providers choice, it may be any suitable algorithm.

But in the early phase most providers chose the recommended COMP128
algorithm which zeroes the last byte of Kc. This algorithm got leaked in
the late 90's and many providers seem to have chosen some alternative
(COMP128v2 and others).

Nevertheless I've seen about 30% of the Kc having the last byte zeroed,
which does *not* mean that they are using the vanilla COMP128.
