Overview

The IEEE has ratified the 802.1AE?2006 Media Access Control Security (MACsec) standard which offers connectionless user data confidentiality, frame data integrity, and data origin authenticity for LANs, metropolitan optical networks and other applications. The MACsecsecurity design consists of a data plane protocol which protects frames traversing the network. A companion key agreement protocol is specified in IEEE 802.1X?REV (previously defined in 802.1af).

The data plane protocol defines the frame format for data encapsulation, encryption, and authentication using the high performance authenticating cipher GCM?AES. Elliptic's LLP-05 is embedded in the data encapsulation ?decapsulation module within the MAC Client to perform the tasks associated with the MACsec standard.
