Implementation of Snmp v3 Authentication & Encryption using SSL

Hi 
 
    I have a doubt regarding  how net-snmp implements encryption and
authentication (snmp v3 security) using SSL.
 
    The keys used for encryption and authentication in SSL are derived
from a pre-master secret, which is distributed from client to server
using RSA certificates, or Diffi Helman Algorithm.  
    How will then one make of the user keys stored in the USM MIB (user
encryption & authentication keys for snmp v3 security model ) ?
 
    If some body can clarify this, it would be great.
 
thanks and regards
anoop.
