4. Submission Mar 2015 The China NB comments on IEEE 802.1AEbn-2011 require a response China NB comment ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-1AE:2013/FDAmd1 is based on IEEE 802.1x-2010 which was opposed by China NB in FDIS voting phase because of security problems. By now, these security problems in IEEE 802.1x-2010 still exist. We oppose the two standards based on IEEE 802.1x because of the security problems. China NB proposed change We propose to delete the references of IEEE 802.1X-2010 Slide 4

7. Submission Mar 2015 The SC may consider a response to China NB FDIS comments on 802.1AEbn and 802.1AEbw The FDIS comments on IEEE 802.1AEbn-2011and IEEE 802.1AEbw- 2013 from China NB are almost identical Karen Randall has agreed to draft responses for consideration by the SC Approval by the 802.1 WG is also required Slide 7

8. Submission Mar 2015 The SC will consider a proposed response to China NB comment on 802.1AEbn-2011 Proposed response to China NB comment on 802.1AEbn-2011 IEEE thanks the China NB for its comment on the 802.1AE/FDAmd 1 ballot. However, this amendment is based on IEEE 802.1AE, MAC Security, and not IEEE 802.1X, Port Based Network Access Control as asserted in the China NB’s comment. The purpose for this amendment is to specify and support optional use of an additional cipher suite: AES-256 for MAC Security using GCM (Galois Counter Mode). Slide 8

9. Submission Mar 2015 The SC will consider a proposed response to China NB comment on 802.1AEbw-2013 Proposed response to China NB comment on 802.1AEbw-2013 IEEE thanks the China NB for its comment on the 802.1AE/FDAmd 1 ballot. However, this amendment is based on IEEE 802.1AE, MAC Security, and not IEEE 802.1X, Port Based Network Access Control as asserted in the China NB’s comment. This amendment describes an optional mode for MACsec that defines a method to extend the packet number to support higher network rates while maintaining system functionality and operational efficiency.
