Urgent - Time synchronization packet - does encryption required or not

Hi,

Could you please clarify whether the 'Time Synchronization' packet
should be encrypted or not. What should be the security level.

 I went through RFC 3414 and the 'section 4 Discovery' says as

'If authenticated communication is required, then the discovery
   process should also establish time synchronization with the
   authoritative SNMP engine.  This may be accomplished by sending an
   authenticated Request message with the value of
   msgAuthoritativeEngineID set to the newly learned snmpEngineID and
   with the values of msgAuthoritativeEngineBoots and
   msgAuthoritativeEngineTime set to zero.'

My understanding is that the 'Time Synchronization' packet requires
only authentication and not encryption.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Dev.
