Hi,

I heard somewhere that SNMPv3 does not satisfy FIPS140, at least for 
level 3.  I believe it has something to do with the privacy keys being 
derived from the user passwords and someone (NIST?) didn't like it.

Does anyone know if that is true?

Are the privacy keys really derived from the user password?

Are there other alternatives to generating the privacy keys that would 
be FIPS140 compliant???

Thanks,
Brendan.
