READING MATERIAL:
  draft-hardaker-snmp-session-sm-00.txt
    From the Abstract:
      This document describes a Session Based Security Model (SBSM)
      for use within the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
      The security model is designed to establish a "session" between
      two interacting hosts, over which SNMP operations can be sent.
      It provides a number of security properties not previously
      available in [currently] defined SNMP security models, such as
      public key based authentication, limited life-time keying, and
      the ability to make use of previously implemented and deployed
      security infrastructures for purposes of identification and
      authentication.

Description of Working Group:

  The SBSM working group will focus on creating a new session-based
  security model [for SNMPv3] that will meet the security and
  operational needs of network administrators.

Work Items

 - A document describing a session-based security model for the
   SNMPv3's protocol.

Goals and Milestones:

 Mar 04   Initial draft(s) defining the SBSM security model
          to be completed so reference implementations can begin.

 Nov 04   Work submitted to the IESG to publish as a proposed standard RFC.
