Technical Summary

   This document describes a Transport Model for the Simple
   Network Management Protocol (SNMP), that uses either the
   Transport Layer Security protocol or the Datagram Transport
   Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The TLS and DTLS protocols
   provide authentication and privacy services for SNMP
   applications. This document describes how the TLS Transport
   Model (TLSTM) implements the needed features of a SNMP
   Transport Subsystem to make this protection possible in an
   interoperable way.

Document Quality

   There are two known implementations in progress of the
   (D)TLS Transport Model.
