MACsec is a point-to-point protocol located on layer two (Data Link) of the OSI model. Xiphera’s extreme speed MACsec solution safeguards the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over point-to-point communication links up to 800G, assured by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) with runtime configurable key lengths.

Key Features
- Moderate resource requirements: The entire XIP1213E requires 218238 Adaptive Lookup Modules (ALMs) (Intel® Agilex® F), and does not require any multipliers or DSPBlocks in a typical FPGA implementation.
- Constant Latency: The execution time of XIP1213E is independent of the key value, and consequently provides protection against timing-based side-channel attacks.
- Databus width: Streaming databus width can be either 256-bit or 512-bit allowing resource usage optimization depending about needed linerate.
- Performance: XIP1213E achieves a throughput in the tens of Gbps range4, for example 132.75+ Gbps in AMD® Virtex® UltraScale+.
- Standard Compliance: XIP1213E is compliant with the MACsec protocol as standardized in IEEE Std 802.1AE-2018 [2]. The cipher suite (GCM-AES-256 or GCM-AES-XPN-256) is fully compliant with the Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES) standard [1], as well as with the Galois Counter Mode (GCM) standard [3].
- Test Vector Compliance: XIP1213E passes the relevant test vectors specified in Annex C of IEEE Std 802.1AE-2018 [2].
