One benefit is the traffic between client and the securityProbe is not cached along the
various units
as it moves across the „Net, and so can‟t be accessed by someone after the
connection is terminated.
The SNMPv3 SSL security feature
Use the SNMPv3 SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which is the standard security technology
for establishing the encrypted link between the securityProbe in our case and the web
browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the securityProbe and the
browser remains private and integral.
SNMPv3 provides important security features:
* Confidentiality - Encryption of packets to prevent snooping by an unauthorized source.
* Integrity - Message integrity to ensure that a packet has not been tampered with in
transit.
* Authentication - to verify that the message is from a valid source.
