In various embodiments, techniques for identity-based address normalization are provided. The semiconductor device comprises N+ source region 31, N+ drain region 11, P\u2212 body region 41, and N\u2212 drift region 12. The work panel has equation indicia positioned on an outer surface of the work panel opposite of the base panel. A method comprises operating a software process that includes a network endpoint attribute, communicating packets through a network protocol stack to a network interface card, having an interface attribute, and comparing the network endpoint attribute with the interface attribute to determine whether the software process can access the network interface card.
