802.1AE - Media Access Control (MAC) Security
This is a project of the 802.1 MAC Security Task Group.
The scope of this project is to specify provision of connectionless user data confidentiality, frame data integrity, and data origin authenticity by media access independent protocols and entities that operate transparently to MAC Clients (as specified in IEEE Standards 802, 802.2, 802.1D, 802.1Q, and 802.1X). Key management and the establishment of secure associations is outside the scope but will be referenced by this project.
This standard will facilitate secure communication over publicly accessible LAN/MAN media for which security has not already been defined, and allow the use of IEEE Std 802.1X, already widespread and supported by multiple vendors, in additional applications.
