Individuals or companies intending to implement and/or use the 128-EEA3 & 128-EIA3 Algorithms will be required to sign a Restricted Usage Undertaking with an appointed custodian, such as the GSM Association. Commercial implementors of the algorithms will need to demonstrate that they satisfy approval criteria specified in the Restricted Usage Undertaking and formal permission to use the algorithms will need to be obtained by way of signing the Restricted Usage Undertaking and paying the EUR4,000 administrative charges that applies to non-members of the GSMA. The 128-EEA3 & 128-EIA3 algorithms are based on the ZUC algorithm, for which the DCS Centre holds essential patents. Beneficiaries of the 128-EEA3 & 128-EIA3 algorithms must also be licensed by DACAS. DACAS grants royalty-free licenses under those patents under separate written license agreements and subject to other terms and conditions which are believed fair and commercially reasonable. DACAS reserves the right to refuse or withdraw the license to/from the parties that refuse to license, or claim unfair, unreasonable or discriminatory royalty rates for their essential IPR. Implementors can apply for the ZUC patent license here. ... Every Beneficiary must send to the GSM Association two signed paper copies of the Restricted Usage Undertaking – one copy will be countersigned and returned. Non-GSM Association members must also enclose the Administrative Charge of € 4,000. 3GPP Confidentiality and Integrity Algorithms UEA2 and UIA2 The GSMA , having cooperated in the development of the 3GPP Confidentiality and Integrity Algorithms UEA2 and UIA2 ("The UEA2 & UIA2 Algorithm"), has been granted distribution rights to the Algorithms that have been developed through the collaborative efforts of the 3GPP Organisational Partners. The UEA2 and UIA2 Algorithm specifications are available below and may be used only for the development and operation of equipment conforming to the UEA2 & UIA2 Algorithm or standards based on it. Every Beneficiary intending to implement and/or use the UEA2 & UIA2 Algorithm must sign a Restricted Usage Undertaking with a Custodian and demonstrate that they satisfy the approval criteria specified in the Restricted Usage Undertaking. A fee of EUR4,000 is chargeable to non-members of the GSMA wishing to implement and/or use the UEA2 and UIA2 Algorithm. ... Every Beneficiary must send to the GSM Association two signed paper copies of the Restricted Usage Undertaking – one copy will be countersigned and returned. Non-GSM Association members must also enclose the Administrative Charge of € 4,000. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
