   GSM cipher key generation algorithm. Uses the shared secret key Ki, the mobile identity IMSI, and a random number, RAND, to generate an encryption key Kc which is used for encryption and decryption of data exchanged between mobile and network. Only RAND is exchanged between mobile and network but it is new for every session and Ki remains a shared secret between mobile and network. This makes inverting the algorithm to produce Ki difficult.
