RE: [ethmac] Encription for Ethernet Protocol



Hi,
 
           The question is less wether it can but rather what to encrept meaning you can always before sending the packet to the MAC or when getting the packet from the MAC add someting like Triple-DES however you need to think carefully what you want to encrept as if for example you do so to the DA/SA L2 forwardign will no pass and if you touch the IP Header L3 etc will fail.
 
so you should in addition to the 3DES code (which is reletivly easy tho' lots of table to write) add a decoder to determine where to start and where to end the encription.
 
needless to say you also need for such think some software application to exchange key etc.
 
have a nice day

As title, could the ethernet core be added/coorperated with some kind of encription algorithm core? How? Where to find it?
