This attribute enables or disables early authentication and encryption (EAE) signaling for the MAC Domain. It also defines the type of EAE enforcement in the case that EAE is enabled. If set to 'disableEAE', EAE is disabled for the MAC Domain. If set to 'enableEaeRangingBasedEnforcement', 'enableEaeCapabilityBasedEnforcement' or 'enableEaeTotalEnforcement', EAE is enabled for the MAC Domain. The following EAE enforcement methods are defined in the case where EAE signaling is enabled: The option 'enableEaeRangingBasedEnforcement' indicates EAE is enforced on CMs that perform ranging with a B-INIT-RNG-REQ message. The option 'enableEaeCapabilityBasedEnforcement' indicates EAE is enforced on CMs that perform ranging with a B-INIT-RNG-REQ message in which the EAE capability flag is set. The option 'enableEaeTotalEnforcement' indicates EAE is enforced on all CMs regardless of their EAE capabilities.
