The Advanced Encryption Standard Cipher Algorithm in the SNMP User-based Security Model
RFC 3826, “The Advanced Encryption Standard Cipher Algorithm in the SNMP User-based Security Model”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2004 by U. Blumenthal, F. Maino, K. McCloghrie. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a symmetric encryption protocol that supplements the protocols described in the User-based Security Model (USM), which is a Security Subsystem for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol for use in the SNMP Architecture. The symmetric encryption protocol described in this document is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher algorithm used in Cipher FeedBack Mode (CFB), with a key size of 128 bits. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
