L'algoritmo di seguito riportato
rappresenta una possibile implementazione del vero algoritmo
A5/1 utilizzato nelle reti GSM. NON é comunque garantita la sua autenticità
e nemmeno il suo corretto funzionamento. E' stato riportato qui per completezza di
informazione e semplice curiosità.

*
* Background: The Global System for Mobile communications is the most widely
* deployed cellular telephony system in the world. GSM makes use of
* four core cryptographic algorithms, neither of which has been published by
* the GSM MOU. This failure to subject the algorithms to public review is all
* the more puzzling given that over 100 million GSM
* subscribers are expected to rely on the claimed security of the system.
*
* The four core GSM algorithms are:
* A3 authentication algorithm
* A5/1 "strong" over-the-air voice-privacy algorithm
* A5/2 "weak" over-the-air voice-privacy algorithm
* A8 voice-privacy key generation algorithm
*
* In April of 1998, our group showed that COMP128, the algorithm used by the
* overwhelming majority of GSM providers for both A3 and A8
* functionality was fatally flawed and allowed for cloning of GSM mobile
* phones.
* Furthermore, we demonstrated that all A8 implementations we could locate,
* including the few that did not use COMP128 for key generation, had been
* deliberately weakened by reducing the keyspace from 64 bits to 54 bits.
* The remaining 10 bits are simply set to zero!
*
* See http://www.scard.org/gsm for additional information.
*
* The question so far unanswered is if A5/1, the "stronger" of the two
* widely deployed voice-privacy algorithm is at least as strong as the
* key. Meaning: "Does A5/1 have a work factor of at least 54 bits"?
* Absent a publicly available A5/1 reference implementation, this question
* could not be answered. We hope that our reference implementation below,
* which has been verified against official A5/1 test vectors, will provide
* the cryptographic community with the base on which to construct the
* answer to this important question.
*
* Initial indications about the strength of A5/1 are not encouraging.
* A variant of A5, while not A5/1 itself, has been estimated to have a
* work factor of well below 54 bits. See http://jya.com/crack-a5.htm for
* background information and references.
*
* With COMP128 broken and A5/1 published below, we will now turn our attention
* to A5/2. The latter has been acknowledged by the GSM community to have
* been specifically designed by intelligence agencies for lack of security.
*
* We hope to publish A5/2 later this year.
