IEEE P802.1AReg

Amendment Standard - Active - Draft.
A Secure Device Identifier (DevID) is cryptographically bound to a device and supports authentication of the device’s identity. An Initial Device Identifier (IDevID) provide by the supplier of a device can be supplemented by Local Device Identifiers (LDevIDs) facilitating enrollment (provisioning of authentication and authorization credentials) by local network administrators.

This amendment adds support for unique per-device identifiers utilizing cryptographic binding based on the Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA) with the ML-DSA-87, ML-DSA-65, and ML-DSA-44 parameter sets.
This standard defines a standard identifier for IEEE 802 devices that is cryptographically bound to that device, and defines a standard mechanism to authenticate a device's identity. This facilitates secure device provisioning.
