IEEE 802.10a-1999

The SILs model describes the architectural framework that 802.10 is using to provide security in IEEE 802 LANs and MANs and delineates the scope of each of the other two standards and relationships between them. The two protocol standards described in the Model are Secure Data Exchange (SDE) and Key Management (KMP). The model also describes how SDE and KMP work in end stations and bridges, as well as how they are used to protect management traffic.
