Title:		Support of third Algorithm Evaluation Team

Document for:		Information

Ericsson believes that it is very important to have universally approved and trusted ciphering and integrity algorithms in 3GPP. The work with the design of KASUMI has had a very compressed time schedule and the same will be true for the evaluation of the proposal from SAGE. Thus to help in building general trust in KASUMI it should undergo as deep and thorough review as possible by as many researchers as possible.
In this spirit Ericsson will support a third Algorithm Evaluation Team if S3 finds that there is a need for it and if a third competent team has announced interest in the task. 
The third team should be selected according to the same rules as fthe two teams paid by ETSI SAGE. It should be commissioned by ETSI SAGE under the same conditions as the other teams. The compensation for the third team will also be 20000 ECU.
