Title: External User Security Model (EUSM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)

SNMPv3 provides a framework for user identity based authentication, privacy
and granular access control. SNMPv3 aids secure manageability and overcomes
one of major drawbacks in previous versions of the SNMP standard. There has
been a significant lack of uptake for deployment of SNMPv3, and a number of
organizations are still using SNMPv1/SNMPv2c. This is because SNMPv3 does
not integrate well with administrative security schemes defined for
existing management interfaces like the device command line interfaces. We
believe this is because the SNMPv3 standard does not address the issue of
management and distribution of the keying material for SNMP.
