802.1AR is _IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Secure
           Device Identity. ("IDevID")

802.1ae is MACsec, which an L2 equivalent for IPsec.  It is appropriately
referenced at the end of section 3.3, I think.

Both references are appropriate, I think.
The IEEE names standards in a case sensitive way, as "ae" and "AE" are
different.

I'm not fond of the title.  It feels like an article is missing,
or just too many qualifiers in a row.
