SNMP
SNMP Terms
FIGURE C-1 SNMP Block Diagram Example
Advanced Encryption Standard AES-An NIST-standard cryptographic cipher that uses a block length of 128 bits and key lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits. AES uses the Rijndael algorithm, officially replacing the Triple DES Method. AES encryption can be done in one pass instead of three and its key size is greater than Triple Desís 168 bits. One of two privacy encryption protocols, AES is a stronger form of encryption than DES see also “Data Encryption Standard”. Source The Internet Society, RFC
