A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the SNMP Version 3 Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Applicability Statement for SNMPv3 Cryptographic
Algorithms
Author(s) : S. Bellovin, R. Bush
Filename : draft-ietf-snmpv3-as-00.txt
Pages : 3
Date : 28-Feb-02
This document attempts to put in perspective the use of cryptographic
algorithms in the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol Version 3
standard. In particular, it notes that today's standard is
infinitely more secure than previous versions, as the previous
versions had zero security. It further notes that, as cryptographic
algorthim developments change over time, we expect that the
recommended algorithms will change when the security community has
reached new consensus.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
