Tóm tắt

 Abstract— The Layer 2 network security has shown many advantages compared to Layer 3. However, the structure of Layer 2 does not indicate the size of data packet, it makes the difficult to capture the data packet, especially in the case the packet is captured by hardware. Also, there are limitation of using software to capture the packet. In addition, when the size of the packet is not defined, it will be difficult to handle the packet with inserting cryptographic parameters that exceed the permissible length. In this paper, a technical solution for capturing Ethernet packet directly from FPGA is presented, organising data to ensure transparent communication capability to implement Layer 2 packet security, to overcome the limitations when capturing packet by using software.

Tóm tắt— Bảo mật mạng Layer 2 đã thể hiện được nhiều ưu điểm so với bảo mật Layer 3, tuy nhiên do cấu trúc của gói tin Layer 2 không cho biết kích thước gói tin nên gây khó khăn cho việc bắt gói tin, đặc biệt khi bắt trực tiếp bằng phần cứng, trong khi nếu sử dụng phần mềm thì có nhiều hạn chế. Hơn nữa, khi không biết kích thước sẽ gây khó khăn trong việc xử lý gói tin khi chèn các tham số mật mã vượt quá độ dài cho phép. Trong bài này trình bày một giải pháp kỹ thuật bắt gói tin Ethernet trực tiếp từ FPGA, tổ chức dữ liệu đảm bảo khả năng truyền tin trong suốt cho phép thực hiện bảo mật gói tin Layer 2, khắc phục được những hạn chế khi bắt gói tin bằng phần mềm.
