The MAC address is the unique address of the network adapter (48bit I believe) in order to to communicate along the Data Link layer of the network topology. Think of it as a more binding address than IP.
Unfortunately, MAC addresses can be spoofed as well, so they'd need a combination of different things to shorten the chances that these things can be replicated.
