Enhancing Ethernet Security with MACsec

Ethernet was originally designed for high-speed data transfer and interoperability between devices. However, traditional Ethernet does not provide built-in mechanisms for securing data traffic, such as encryption or authenticity protection. This is where MACsec comes into the picture.

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.
