SHA—Creates a digest of 160 bits (20 bytes).
Both methods include the authentication key with the SNMPv3 packet and
then generate a digest of the entire SNMPv3 packet.
The authentication password that's used, together with the local engine ID, to
create the authentication key used by the MD5 or SHA message digest.
