Using the User-Based Security Model
SNMP version 3 (RFC 2570 through 2575) introduces a User-Based Security model (RFC 2574) for authentication
and privacy services.
SNMP version 1 and version 2 use community strings to authenticate SNMP access to management modules.
This method can still be used for authentication. In SNMP version 3, the User-Based Security model of SNMP can
be used to secure against the following threats:
• Modification of information
• Masquerading the identity of an authorized entity
