Abstract

This paper explores the uses for security mechanisms confined to OSI layer 2, even in LANs that also employ wide area protocols up through layer 7. These mechanisms must be integrated into the protocol architecture in a way that will not interfere with or be redundant to very similar security mechanism implemented in higher layers operating across the wide area network. A model for such mechanisms in the context of IEEE 802 LANs is proposed.
