The fourth generation of cell phones, marketed as 4G/LTE (Long-Term Evolution) is being quickly adopted worldwide. Given the mobile and wireless nature of the involved communications, security is crucial. This paper includes both a theoretical study and a practical analysis of the SNOW 3G generator, included in such a standard for protecting confidentiality and integrity. From its implementation and performance evaluation in mobile devices, several conclusions about how to improve its efficiency are obtained.
