> # Support for AES Encryption

> The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the symmetric cipher algorithm that provides a high-level of security, and can accept different key sizes.

> The Cisco TrustSec FC Link Encryption feature supports the 128-bit AES for security encryption and enables either AES-GCM or AES-GMAC for an interface. The AES-GCM mode provides encryption and authentication of the frames and AES-GMAC provides only the authentication of the frames that are being passed between the two peers.
