IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Media Access Control (MAC) Security

This standard specifies how all or part of a network can be secured transparently to peer protocol entities that use the MAC Service provided by IEEE 802® LANs to communicate. MAC security (MACsec) provides connectionless user data confidentiality, frame data integrity, and data origin authenticity. (The PDF of this standard is available at no cost.
