Silex Inside releases a high throughput, scalable and performant MACsec engine

March 30, 2018 - In current networking technologies, source authentication, data integrity and confidentiality are becoming more and more important. There exist numerous software implementations for security protocol suites on nearly all OSI layers, but these implementations are not well suited for timing-critical, high throughput applications. On OSI layer 2 (data link layer), MACsec is the transport security protocol of choice. The newly released BA451 is a very scalable HW engine implementing the MACsec standard for high throughput applications
