MACsec

More Information:

    MACsec

    Media Access Control Security (MACsec) is an industry-standard security technology that provides secure communication on Ethernet links. MACsec provides confidentiality, replay protection, and data integrity on Ethernet links between nodes. MACsec is standardized in IEEE 802.1AE.
