In plain words
TS 35.205 describes an ETSI SAGE Task Force's work designing an example Milenage Algorithm Set of 3GPP Authentication and Key Generation Functions. "The 3GPP Authentication and Key Generation Functions are not standardized." The example set was produced on request from 3GPP, with the intent that it shall be offered to UMTS operators. Operators could utilise it instead of developing their own.

How this page was made
The facts box and the tables come straight from the 3GPP specification archive and CR database as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
