A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : The AES Cipher Algorithm in the SNMP's User-based
Security Model

This document describes a set of symmetric encryption protocols that
supplement the protocols described in the User-based Security Model
(USM) [RFC2574], which is a Security Subsystem for version 3 of the
Simple Network Management Protocol for use in the SNMP Architecture
[RFC2571]. The symmetric encryption protocols described in this
document are based on the AES cipher algorithm [FIPS-AES], used in
Cipher FeedBack Mode (CFB), with key size of 128 (mandated), 192,
and 256 bits.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
