The 5.8 release will have support for SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and
SHA-512, which supports RFC7860 where the support for them is defined
for the SNMP protocol.

Net-SNMP tends to implement the define standards for SNMP and we don't
extend much upon that.  There is no standardized definition for
encryption protocols for USM other than the ones we offer.

Instead, if you want higher forms of security you might consider
switching from the USM security model to the (d)TLS ones, which allow
for negotiated cryptography suites like TLS normally does.  Net-SNMP
has supported (and was the first to support) the TLS mechanisms defined
in RFC 6353.

See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Using_TLS for some
documentation to help get started using it.
