IEEE 802.1ae MACSEC for 10 Gbit Ethernet

Request Information

Product Description

The MACSEC core is a high performance pipelined implementation of IEEE standard 802.1ae to provide cryptographic security for Ethernet networks. The MACSEC Security Entity (SecY) provides a single secure transmit channel and multiple secure receive channels with privacy, authentication, replay detection and statistics gathering for attack detection. The core is built on Algotronix' pipelined implementation of the AES-GCM encryption algorithm which itself builds on our G3 AES core. This release of the MACSEC core supports operation at 1Gbit/sec with a clock frequency of 125MHz and 10Gbit/sec with a clock frequency of 156.25MHz.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Complies with IEEE 802.1ae
  • 1Gbit or 10Gbit throughput
  • 128 or 256 bit encryption keys
