What you can get is here:
http://www.gsmworld.com/using/algorithms/docs/55205-600.pdf
3GPP TS 55.205 V6.0.0 (2002-12)
Technical Specification
3rd Generation Partnership Project;
Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects;
Specification of the GSM-MILENAGE Algorithms:
An example algorithm set for the GSM
Authentication and Key Generation functions A3 and A8
(Release 6)
Why you can't get what you want is here:
GSM algorithms subject to application
The following example A3/A8 algorithm specifications are available to
qualified industry parties (GSM network operators and manufacturers of
eligible GSM equipment) on application to the GSM Association: COMP128
COMP128-2
COMP128-3
Application packs for the above algorithms can be requested from
security@gsm.org. A per-copy fee of EUR2,000 is chargeable to non-members
of the GSM Association wishing to receive these algorithm specifications.
