Abstract
Methods are provided that support media access control (MAC) address rotation (RCM) by generating a passcode for associating a user defined network by one or more endpoint devices instead of using MAC addresses for their respective device identity. In these methods, a computing device obtains a registration request for establishing a user defined network (UDN) and generates a unique UDN identifier and a unique passcode associated with the unique UDN identifier. The unique passcode enables an authentication of one or more endpoint devices to connect to the UDN. The authentication is independent of the MAC address of a respective endpoint device. The computing device provides the UDN identifier and the unique passcode such that the UDN identifier and the unique passcode are for connecting the one or more endpoint devices to the UDN.
