This document is a submission to the SNMPv2 Working Group of the IETF.     

Computer security systems can be usually be understood as being composed of
two or more logically distinct components.  There is often a privacy 
service that protects data from disclosure, an authentication service that 
validates the identity of the entity requesting service, and an access 
control service which, given an authorized entity, restricts the data and 
operations to which that entity has access.                                

The SNMPv2 Administrative Model makes these distinctions.  It specifies the
data and protocols that a compliant SNMPv2 entity must implement in order 
to provide an access control service.  However, it does not say anything 
about how authentication, privacy, timeliness, and the like ought to be 
implemented.  Rather, it leaves the hooks in place for these services to be
implemented in a variety of ways.  Henceforth, this collection of 
unspecified services will be collectively referred to as "the 
authentication and privacy services".  Consequently, the SNMPv2 
Administrative Model provides an architecture that realizes an access 
control service, and provides the means for integrating authentication     
and privacy services.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-various-snmpv2-adminv2-syn-01.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
