IEEE 802.1AR-2009 - 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.
