Devices, networks, systems, methods, and processes for rotating a Media Access Control (MAC) address of a device. A device can negotiate a periodicity for address rotation of the MAC address associated with the device. The device may receive a data frame and generate seed data based on the data frame. The device can also utilize a shared secret key, a cryptographic hash function, and/or a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator to generate the seed data. The device can determine timestamp data based on the periodicity or a time of reception of the data frame. The device may utilize a pseudorandom function to determine the MAC address based on the timestamp data and the seed data. The device can generate the MAC address after every rotation cycle. Upon waking up from a power saving mode, the device can synchronize with a network device to generate next MAC address.
