Abstract

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) specification [1] allows for the protection of network management operations by a variety of security protocols. The SNMP administrative model described in [2] provides a framework for securing SNMP network management. In the context of that framework, this memo defines protocols to support the following three security services:

1. data integrity,
2. data origin authentication, and
3. data confidentiality.

Please send comments to the SNMP Security Developers mailing list (snmp-sec-dev@tis.com).
