AES-GCM<br />

• Critical part of MACSEC for area <strong>an</strong>d<br />

perform<strong>an</strong>ce<br />

• <strong>Encryption</strong> with AES-CTR mode <strong>an</strong>d<br />

authentication with GF-HASH<br />

• Works on 128 bit blocks of data where<br />

ethernet works on bytes<br />

• AES-CTR is iterative, 10 or 14 ‘rounds’ of<br />

process<strong>in</strong>g for each data block.<br />

• Two overhead encryptions per packet, one<br />

overhead GF-HASH operation per packet.<br />
