MACsec & Key Agreement

MACsec stands for Media Access Control Security and is a standard to secure point-to-point network communication on the data data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI 7 layer model. MACsec was introduced with the IEEE 802.1AE standard.

MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) and Extensible Authentication Protocol–Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) are essential for the use of Ethernet-based MACsec data connection security.
