Privacy Protocol Specify the encryption method used for SNMP communication with the SNMP
administrator.
DES - Data Encryption Standard is a widely used (but breakable) method of data
encryption. It applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data.
AES - Advanced Encryption Standard is another method for data encryption that also
uses a secret key. AES applies a 128-bit key to 128-bit blocks of data.

to authenticate SNMP data. SHA authentication is generally considered stronger than
MD5, but is slower.
