Three algos are being supported in lte for integrity protection and cyphering.
1. EEA0 and EIA0. Both are known as null encryption and null integrity algorithm respectively.
2. EEA1 and EIA1. Both are based on SNOW 3G
3. EEA2 and EIA2. Both are based on AES.

For more details please check 3GPP 33.401 specification.

In LTE, why the integrity and encryption protection order is different in NAS and AS layer?

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?
