First Demonstration of 200 Gbps Regime Line-Rate Quantum-Secure MACsec Optical Links Using Commodity Hardware Offloads

We demonstrate the first MACsec implementation at 196 Gbps over an end-to-end quantum-secure link using Quantum Key Distribution, Post-Quantum Cryptography, and Classical Cryptography with network offloads and hardware accelerators.
