MACsec - High-Speed Variant
MACsec is a point-to-point protocol located on layer two (Data Link) of the OSI model.
Overview
MACsec is a point-to-point protocol located on layer two (Data Link) of the OSI model. Xiphera's comprehensive MACsec solution portfolio safeguards the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over point-to-point communication links, assured by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) with 256-bit key length.
The underlying cryptographic engines in the MACsec solutions are powered by Xiphera's in-house designed AES-GCM Intellectual Property (IP) cores.
Xiphera is offering three MACsec variants: MACsec Balanced, MACsec High-Speed, and MACsec Extreme-Speed.
