MACsec - Protocol overview and Analysis
Benjamin Pfister
Corporate networks are increasingly facing internal threats as well. As a result, there is a growing demand for the encryption of all packets transmitted between switches or between end devices and switches instead of only authentication at the beginning of a session. MACsec defined in 802.1AE can offer a solution in this area. Manufacturers are now increasingly offering MACsec-compatible components and since version 4.6, Wireshark has also provided advanced analysis functions through a specialised form of decryption.
