Abstract
This document presents simpler and more secure architectures for SNMPv3 agents than the ones specified in RFCs 2271-2275. Agent security is improved by restricting each module's access to data, using the 'principle of least privilege'. The new agent architectures are analyzed in terms of software complexity as well as security, and are shown in some respects to be simpler.
