Overview
Fully compliant solution that provides Ethernet Layer 2 Security for port and data privacy
The MAC Privacy Protection IP is a fully compliant solution that provides Ethernet Layer 2 Security for port and data privacy as standardized in IEEE 802.1AEdk. It protects components in Ethernet networks especially low and high speed Ethernet used in cloud, data center, 5G, industrial and automotive. The MAC Privacy Protection IP supplements the security features of authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and replay protection, offered by MACsec. It adds encryption to MAC addresses, padding for fixed frame sizes, and controlled transmission timing of frames.
The IP core is configurable to have multiple Privacy Mapping rules for traffic differentiation, including Privacy Frame processing for individual frame protection and Privacy Channel processing for express and preemptable frame protection. The IP is prepared for easy interfacing with Comcores or third-party MACsec, MAC, PCS and TSN Switch IPs. It can be delivered with 8-bit and 64-bit AXI-S input and output data interfaces. It additionally includes a software tool for the integration with MACsec Key Agreement Entity.

How the MACsec Protocol Keeps Ethernet Networks Secure
Dana Neustadter, Senior Product Manager for Security Solutions, Synopsys Solutions Group
O-RAN Fronthaul Security using MACsec
With 5G being deployed for time-sensitive applications, security is becoming an important consideration. At the same time, Open Radio Access Networks (RAN) are gaining more interest from mobile carriers and governments. Yet, Open RAN networks have serious security challenges, especially in the RAN fronthaul where there are strict timing requirements. This paper proposes MACsec as an efficient data link layer security solution that can assist in meeting these challenges.
