Introduction

In this blog I will attempt to explain MACSec from purely technical angle. The IEEE Standard can be a bit confusing if you do not have through knowledge of MAC architecture and misinterpreted, causing non-productivity.

By no means it is an attempt to replace the reading and thorough understanding of the 802.1AE standard itself. You can use this blog as a resource that attempts to explain and simplify some concepts and overall architecture, as depicted in the standard.

It will be explained step by step over multiple posts, each focused on a specific subject/topic/concept.


I hope to conclude the series in 2 week's time. Given that time frame, I won't be able to produce good quality pics for explaining things. I will use pics to explain concepts wherever required, But those pics will likely be hand drawn.

    Hi Vineeth,
    I have changed job and got busy with the project commitment. I will definitely get on with the blog, but it may take a couple of months.

    Regards,
    Kish

    Hi Kishalay,

    I am interested to learn about MACSec and was hoping to see some more posts. Did you decide to stop this thread?
    Is there any open source implementation of MACSec?

    Thanks,
    Jay
