The development of mobile phone is growing fast in the all over the world. Besides the basic voice communication, many multimedia services and global roaming service are capable in the 3rd generation mobile telecommunication. Because mobile phone has been the essential tool to communicate, the protection of privacy and the safe transmission are critical ones. In synchronous, asynchronous mode IMT2000 service, the mechanism of mutual authentication and generation of cipher key and integrity key are implemented in smart card chip called UIM, USIM. In this paper, we describe the authentication mechanism of 3GPP and 3CPP2 and its implementation results. Then, we specify a few problems which are not defined in standard.
