Methods, network controllers, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for network controller provisioned MACsec keys. A network controller can provision a first network device with a media access control security (MACsec) key for a MACsec flow. The network controller can provision a second network device with the MACsec key for the MACsec flow.

Network controller provisioned MACsec keys

Examples disclose a system comprising an integrated circuit to determine whether a data packet should be processed by a shared security engine associated with a secure link. Additionally, the examples disclose a first media access control (MAC), associated with the shared security engine, to receive the data packet for transmission on the secure link based on the determination the data packet should be processed by the shared security engine.

Routing a data packet to a shared security engine

Methods, network controllers, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided to determine a secure path between a source device and a destination device. The secure path may be via a plurality of network devices. The secure path may be determined based on a security capability of each of the plurality of network devices in the secure path. Data may be forwarded between the source device and the destination device, via the plurality of network devices, based on the determined path.
