Synopsys MACsec Security Modules for Ethernet
Data security between Ethernet connected devices is expanding due to multiple factors: exponential growth of data containing sensitive and private information, new laws and regulations, and also technology advances in markets such as cloud computing, mobile/5G and automotive, to support faster, more scalable and ultimately more efficient networking architectures.
Media Access Control Security (MACsec) is the foundational Ethernet (Layer2) security protocol to protect network communication against DoS attacks, eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks by enabling a bi-directional secure link.
Synopsys’ MACsec Security Modules provide confidentiality, integrity, origin authentication and replay protection based on scalable AES-GCM cryptography enabling end-to-end security for Ethernet traffic. Synopsys MACsec Security Modules are complete inline full-duplex solutions that seamlessly integrate with the Synopsys Ethernet MAC & PCS IP, supporting scalable data rates with low latency.
By adding Synopsys MACsec Security Modules to Synopsys Ethernet IP Solutions, designers of networking SoCs can protect networking traffic, enabling end-to-end security of data in motion between Ethernet-connected devices.
Besides traditional MACsec solutions, Synopsys also offers MACsec IP for the Automotive market. This IP variant is ASIL B compliant and protects against random and systematic faults. This compliance is critical for automotive safety applications, where reliability and fault tolerance are paramount. It also meets the stringent safety process and documentation requirements of ISO 26262, achieving ASIL D compliance for systematic faults, the highest safety integrity level for automotive applications. Furthermore, Synopsys Automotive MACsec aligns with the ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity process requirements, ensuring adherence to the latest standards in automotive cybersecurity.
