MACsec FPGA IP
The MACsec FPGA IP core is a fully configurable soft IP that implements the IEEE Media Access Control Security standard as defined in 802.1AE (2018). MACsec provides data confidentiality and integrity for the Ethernet protocol and is commonly used to secure network traffic in a variety of different applications.This IP core makes use of the Symmetric Cryptographic Accelerator (SCA) Hard IP, which is available in select Agilex 7 F-series and I-series devices. With the SCA, Altera's MACsec IP core can achieve 100 Gbps full-duplex line rates. Note that the SCA can also be used as a stand alone cryptographic accelerator.
