Hi,

     I am trying to implement snmpv3 application for my network i
looked on net-snmp website for a demo C program and there is this
function generate_Ku() what i thought this fuction does is that it
makes snmp agent to know that with which encryption method and
username and password, agent needs to encrypt the data such that
manager can decrypt the data with same username and password.

Is this the generate_Ku() funtion does. If not then i wanted to know
how the agent and manager share the username and password such that
both can encrypt and decrypt data with a common. I can't understand
how to make a connection to device using snmp c api i.e. how they will
communicate securely how they both get to know of the username and
password set.
