Hi,
Seems there are few new updates of upcoming technology on the list. Nowadays, following 3G (kasumi encryption), in this time i will like you to present the latest LTE security algorythm which is called SNOW. SNOW 3G is a word-oriented stream cipher that generates a sequence of 32-bit words under the control of a 128-bit key and a 128-bit initialisation variable. These words can be used to mask the plaintext. First a key initialisation is performed, i.e. the cipher is clocked without producing output, see 4.1. Then with every clock tick it produces a 32-bit word of output. I will recommend security researchers to read this excellent explanation of the security of the future. As next year ALL new smartphones will be running LTE or LTE-Advance worldwide.

Inside the carriers ALL voice, sms, and internet is fully UNENCRYPTED :) and ALL your privacy could be vulnerable. Regards, Javier
