802.1AR - Secure Device Identity

The full title of this PAR is "Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Secure Device Identity".

This standard specifies unique per-device identifiers (DevID) and the management and cryptographic binding of a device to its identifiers, the relationship between an initially installed identity and subsequent locally significant identities, and interfaces and methods for use of DevIDs with existing and new provisioning and authentication protocols.

There is presently no standard identifier for IEEE 802 devices that is cryptographically bound to that device, nor is there a standard mechanism to authenticate a device's identity. A verifiable unique device identity allows establishment of the trustworthiness of devices. This facilitates secure device provisioning.

It is desirable to authenticate entities attached to a network in a secure fashion; e.g., by means of the mechanisms defined in IEEE Std 802.1X. A standardized device identity facilitates interoperable secure device authentication. User organizations have identified this as a desirable capability to simplify and standardize security management in their networks. The IETF has identified DevID or an equivalent capability as an enabling component of a solution to security issues in several of their protocols, e.g. ARP. DevID is specifically conceived to address this need. This standard will be of benefit to manufacturers of conformant LAN equipment, their customers, and users of LANs or LAN services that are based on such equipment.
