Abstract
A method for transmitting secured Ethernet frames on a communication line, the method including the following in a transmitter module: receiving an Ethernet frame comprising payload data from a network layer; retrieving a secure policy, defining the type of security to be applied to the Ethernet frame; producing an initialization vector based on an encryption counter and a physical address of the transmitter module; creating an authentication tag by applying an authentication algorithm on the secure policy, the initialization vector and the payload data using a shared key and the initialization vector; adding the secure policy, the initialization vector and the authentication tag to the payload data to create a secured Ethernet frame; and sending the secured Ethernet frame to a data link layer for transmission on the communication line.
