[802SEC] Comment from 802.15 on 802.1AEcg PAR and comment from R Heile on 802.24 scope
Glen--
As per the 802.15 WG approved motion, "Motion to submit a comment
on 802.1AEcg?s PAR concerning making it MAC address size agnostic by
Ed Callaway, seconded by Art Astrin. "
4.3 Projected Completion Date for Submittal to RevCom:
08/2016
- recommend change to 08/2017 to align with Sponsor Ballot
date of 11/2016
As stated in the 5.4 Purpose: "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."
- It is not explicitly clear from this purpose statement that the
resultant standard will address the needs of 64-bit MAC address devices
as per IEEE Std. 802.15.4. Will this standard be MAC address size
agnostic? If it will not, how will this group address the needs
stated in 5.5 for these 64-bit MAC address devices?
