MACsec Encoder
Data Security Ethernet Solution

Nowadays, the security of communication becomes more and more important due to the growth of the number of IIoT devices. Network administrators used to use tunnel or physical layer encryption to protect data, but end-to-end tunnels like IPSec need more resources for encryption and decryption and also amounts of key management which led to heavy loading for the server. As for the physical layer encryption, the method implemented by one vendor is unable to communicate with the devices from different vendors.
Media Access Control security (MACsec) is Layer2 protocol provides point-to-point security on Ethernet links. MACsec is an IEEE standard defined as 802.1AE where all devices that follow the standard can communicate with each other by MACsec-configured nodes. This encryption on Layer 2 eliminates the need for a dedicated LAN security device, which reducing the network’s overall size and weight in applications. The IEEE 802.1AE standard is an efficient and high cost-performance ratio solution for Ethernet links to prevent “Man in the Middle” attacks and external threats from frame tampering.
There are a number of advantages to apply MACsec. Since MACsec is an IEEE standard, the benefit is different devices compliant with MACsec standard across different vendors can be used in the same network and extended in existing applications. A network device with MACsec function provides secure communication for the Ethernet link. The AES-256 encryption we default support makes the frames tamper-resistant. Moreover, the MACsec encryption and decryption are served by the ability of hardware with extremely low latency (line speed encryption). Therefore, the efficiency of crypto is much higher than that of software. Besides, the hop-to-hop architecture reduces the loading of CPU calculation, so that the system can work with the same performance as usual. Finally, the format of a frame of MACsec is same as Ethernet standard. Thus, when a Network device without MACsec receives a MACsec frame, it can still forward the frame to the destination MAC Address.
