I am bit confused why the different order are used for integrity and ciphering of RRC and NAS message ?
What if the same order (ciphering and then integrity) is used for RRC message ?

In LTE, if a NAS packet is going to be sent, the encryption is followed by integrity protection in NAS layer, but in RRC/PDCP layer, When RRC messages are being sent, they are integrity protected first and then encrypted before being sent, unlike NAS messages were. Why the integrity and encryption protection order is different in NAS and AS layer?
