IEEE Draft Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Secure Device Identity

A secure device identifier (DevID) is cryptographically bound to a device, and supports authentication of the device¿s identity. Locally significant identities can be securely associated with an initial manufacturer-provisioned DevID and used in provisioning and authentication protocols to allow a network administrator to establish the trustworthiness of a device and select appropriate policies for transmission and reception of data and control protocols to and from the device. This draft is an individual contribution to the Secure Device Identifier project, it has no official standing, and has not yet been reviewed or adopted by the task group.
