The EIP-48 is an efficient hardware implementation of the ZUC algorithm. Besides the basic ZUC stream cipher, the EIP-48 fully implements the 3GPP Confidentiality and Integrity algorithms 128-EEA3 and 128-EIA3, fully according the latest ETSI/SAGE version 1.6 specifications. The EIP-48 is available in different configurations to target high throughput, high frequency and low gate count.
