DEC used to make one (the DESNC), I don't remember the Xerox product. Cylink used to make one, and may even still (as Safe-Net).

FWIW, IEEE has working group 802.1ae doing Ethernet MAC layer encryption. But then, they had 802.10 (only implementation I know of was the DESNC) for many years before retiring it.

The market for these kinds of devices has been notoriously small. May I ask what your use case is?

Thanks,

Are there any commercial link-layer encryptors for Ethernet available?
I know that Xerox used to make them, way back when, but are there any
current ones, able to deal with current speeds (and connectors)?
