ETSI algorithms & codes service assigns and manages codes for various technologies used in the communications industry to convey information about systems and equipment.
ETSI’s Centre for Testing and Interoperability (CTI) assigns and registers codes for ETSI Technical Committees without requiring a contract or payment.
A security algorithm encrypts data using a mathematical procedure, encoding it so that a software key is required to decode it back into its original form. Encryption ensures effective and secure user authentication and is crucial for technology security.
ETSI as Custodian:
Export Licence:
If the export authorisation is not granted by the SBDU, ETSI will not refund the administrative fees incurred.
ORDERBoth the payment and the completed, signed web form are required to obtain the code(s)/algorithm(s).
NOTE: Customers must obtain a separate IPR Licence Agreement from DACAS China. In case of difficulties to register online for the free IPR licence for EEA3 & EIA3 algorithms, the temporary procedure to obtain the free IPR licence is for the Beneficiary (customer) to provide to DACAS a copy of their countersigned ETSI CRUU (Confidential Usage Undertaking form). Contact point is: Mrs Xiang Lu – [email protected].
When the e-mail address has been confirmed, the ETSI Secretariat will automatically receive your order.
IMPORTANT
PAYMENTThe administrative charge is EUR 200 for each code ordered and EUR 2 000 for each algorithm ordered. Payment can be done with the following methods:
✓ by credit card: accepted through the designated payment service when the request is made online via the ETSI WEBstore;
✓ by wire transfer: to the bank account as designated in ETSI’s invoice within thirty (30) days after issuing of the said invoice by ETSI.
Please contact us ([email protected]) to obtain the proforma invoice.
Further details to place your order are available on PDF and detailed instructions on completing the web form and making the payment are available by watching this video.
For payment instructions only, watch this video, or access our online payment platform.
Here are some characteristics and contexts where non-public codes might be used:
Non-public codes are crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of sensitive information and systems.
Information related to these codes can be found in the following specifications:
The list of public codes already assigned can be consulted here.
Information related to these codes can be found in the following specifications:
DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) MFID: TS 102 361-1.
TETRATM FAC (Final Assembly Code): EN 300 392-2.
TETRATM Location System Coding scheme (Equipment Manufacturer Code): EN 300 392-2.
TETRATM proprietary AT command name family: TS 100 392 5.
TETRATM proprietary element owner: EN 300 392-2.
TETRATM SDS-TL protocol identifier: EN 300 392-2.
For further information, please contact Algorithms & codes service.
ETSI’s Centre for Testing and Interoperability (CTI) assigns and registers ASN.1 object identifiers, protocol numbers, XML and URI namespaces, etc. for all ETSI Technical Bodies (TBs). ETSI CTI also allocates CNI codes for the broadcast industry.
Many protocols require the allocation of globally unique names or numbers in order to interoperate successfully. Ranges of names or numbers are often allocated to standards bodies in order to distribute the task of allocation, while still maintaining global uniqueness.
In addition, ETSI CTI can manage, on behalf of an ETSI TB, a request for a protocol name or number allocation from another issuing authority. For example, allocations of Network Management Parameters or allocations for Diameter, XCAP, H.248 protocols can be managed.
All details related to these codes can be found on the Protocol Naming and Numbering page on the ETSI Portal.
To request one of these codes, please contact [email protected].
The TEA1 / TEA3 / TEA4 / TEA6 / TEA7 / TAA1 and TAA2 algorithms are distributed by ETSI.
Please note that ETSI is NOT the Custodian for the TEA2 and TEA5 algorithms.
For further details, please contact TCCA at [email protected].
Information related to TETRATM algorithms can be found in the following specifications:
The UEA1 & UIA1 / UEA2 & UIA2 / EEA3 & EIA3 are UMTSTM and LTETM algorithms distributed by ETSI.
ETSI is NOT the Custodian of EEA2 & EIA2 algorithms. Please consult the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) NIST FIPS 197 for further details.
The 128-EEA1 & 128-EIA1 algorithms (not distributed by ETSI) are identical to the UMTSTM algorithms UEA2 & UIA2 (distributed by ETSI) with a defined mapping of LTE parameters onto UMTSTM parameters. Development and operation of LTE equipment including 128-EEA1 or 128-EIA1 is considered to be an instance of “development and operation of equipment conforming to the UEA2 & UIA2 algorithm or standards based on it”. 128-EEA1 and 128-EIA1 for LTE are considered to be an instance of using “UEA2 & UIA2 algorithm services”.
Information about the 128-EEA1 & 128-EIA1 specifications is also available in the Design and evaluation report (3GPP TR 35.924).
Customers must obtain a separate IPR Licence Agreement from DACAS China. In case of difficulties to register online for the free IPR licence for EEA3-EIA3 algorithms, the temporary procedure to obtain the free IPR licence is for the Beneficiary (customer) to provide to DACAS a copy of their countersigned ETSI CRUU (Confidential Usage Undertaking form).

MILENAGE is an algorithm set for the UMTS, LTE and 5G authentication and key generation functions f1, f1*, f2, f3, f4, f5 and f5*.
This specification has been prepared by the 3GPP Task Force, and contains an example set of algorithms for the 3GPP authentication and key generation functions f1, f1*, f2, f3, f4, f5 and f5*.
A more recently developed second algorithm set for UMTS, LTE and 5G authentication and key generation, based on the public KECCAK hash function family (which will also serve as the SHA-3 hash function standard).
This specification contains a second example algorithm set for the 3GPP authentication and key generation functions f1, f1*, f2, f3, f4, f5 and f5*.
The following algorithms have been removed from the ETSI website; for enquiries about these algorithms please the algorithms and codes service.
