name: MAC-A
full_form: Network Authentication Code
context: MAC-A: the message authentication code used for authentication of the network to the user MAC-A[0], MAC-A[1], â¦, MAC-A[63] The length of MAC-A is 64 bits. MAC-A authenticates the data integrity and the data origin of RAND, SQN and AMF. The verification of MAC-A by the USIM constitutes to entity authentication of the network to the user.
description: MAC-A is a message authentication code used for network authentication to the user, ensuring data integrity and origin of specific parameters like RAND, SQN, and AMF.
explanation: The context explicitly describes MAC-A as a 'message authentication code' with a specific length and function within the network's authentication process, fitting the definition of a Parameter in the telecommunications context.
