Risky Bulletin: Russia to use custom crypto-algorithm for its 5G network

The Russian government is drafting legislation that would mandate all mobile operators and phones in Russia support a domestically developed encryption algorithm called NEA-7 for 5G networks. Under the proposed law, phones unable to support NEA-7 would be unable to connect to Russian mobile networks.

Why it matters: Device manufacturers and telecommunications providers operating in or serving Russian markets must monitor this legislation for compliance requirements and potential market access restrictions if the law passes.
