MACsec AES256-GCM by Xiphera is a solution designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted data on point-to-point communications links. It implements the Media Access Control security (MACsec) protocol, which operates in the second layer of the OSI model. MACsec AES256-GCM uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) with 256-bit keys to secure data confidentiality and authenticity. Xiphera offers this solution in balanced (B), high-speed (H), and extreme-speed (E) variants, with FPGA logic resource usage ranging from 16000 to 55000 LUTs.
