Overview
INSIDE Secure provides a complete MACsec solution to secure Ethernet through its MACsec software toolkit and family of SafeXcel Hardware IP MACsec Security Engines.
The MACsec toolkit supports rapid MACsec integration by device manufacturers that build IP phones, switches, bridges, and routers.
INSIDE's MACsec Toolkit is highly portable, well documented and commented ANSI C source code suitable for a wide range of platforms and enables developers to embed MACsec capabilities into new and existing products. It offers a complete functional software implementation allowing you to test, simulate, and prototype your solutions early (even before the actual hardware is taped off) and speed time to market, with less development cost, while significantly reducing risk.
The MACsec security architecture specifies two main components:
- A control plane defined in 802.1X-2010 (formerly 802.1X-REV), which provides an authenticated key agreement protocol (MKA), EAPOL a protocol to carry EAP over LAN and an announcement protocol.
- A data plane protocol defined in 802.1AE, which protects frames transmitted on the LAN.
MACsec Toolkit has a modular architecture to easily integrate with an existing product. In particular both the 802.1X-2010 and the 802.1AE specifications are implemented within their own modules with well-defined APIs.
MACsec is applicable to any devices that needs to secure Ethernet. It is deployed commercially in various devices from security cameras to large switches.

Caliptra provides an open-source silicon Root of Trust architecture designed specifically for data center-class devices. It helps create a common framework for device identity, measured boot and attestation while enabling greater consistency across hardware platforms. However, adopting Caliptra is only the beginning of the journey.
CryptoManager Root of Trust for use with Caliptra specification provides a production-ready Root of Trust and security orchestration solution that accelerates deployments and enables advanced security for mission-critical data center and AI infrastructure devices
On August 25, 2026, the National Security Agency (NSA) released two technical reports addressing intentional threats to application-specific integrated circuits during design and manufacturing: the “ASIC Best Practices Threat Catalog” and “Application Specific Integrated Circuit Level of Assurance 1 (LoA1) Best Practices”.
