My understanding was that the WG decided prior to the IETF-63 that it will follow the transport mapping security model (TMSM) approach, which was initially called "transport layer security model" (TLSM). Under the discussion during the IETF-63 meeting were the selection of transport layer security protocols that could be used, such as TLS, SSH, DTLS, and BEEP. This is inline with what <draft-kaushik-isms-btsm-01> says: This document leverages the TMSM framework and describes the use of the BEEP for securing SNMPv3. This specification describes BEEP Transport Mapping Security Model. I don't think BEEP was even on the table when the discussions between EUSM, SBSM and TMSM was made - at least it is not mentioned in the evaluation document <draft-ietf-isms-proposal-comparison>. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen <http://www.eecs.iu-bremen.de/> P.O.
