I was asked to decode words mangled at the mic at Tuesday morning's ANIMA
meeting.
The word was "MACsec", and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1AE
https://1.ieee802.org/security/802-1ae/
provides a reasonable description, and probably the getieee mechanism
might get you a copy for free, but IEEE doesn't have a URL that
leads to the actual document. I did read it once.
(One of the URLs in the wikipedia page leads to 404)
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8585421
might get you the document if you have a valid password, which
I used to, but apparently not anymore.
Given my newly acquired understanding that MACsec applies on a per-port
basis, not on a per-VLAN basis, this means that it would be rather difficult
to do peer discovery and security for a L2-bridged LAN.
