Hi,

A very interesting discussion around SNMP in the context of SCADA 
security on the Infracritical SCADASEC list (see
http://www.infracritical.com/?page_id=53 ) centered around a 
discussion of SNMPv3 crypto. I hadn't known that Net-SNMP uses 
OpenSSL as of version 5.6. Interesting reference from that discussion:
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Strong_Authentication_or_Encryption

Should https://bettercrypto.org/static/applied-crypto-hardening.pdf
include a section on hardening SNMPv3 appropriately (I don't think 
there's any discussion of SNMP current in the draft).

Regards,

Joe
