*SNMPv3 defines three levels of security:
• Lowest—Without authentication and without privacy (noAuthNoPriv)
• Middle—With authentication but without privacy (authNoPriv)
• Highest—With authentication and with privacy (authPriv)
Each SNMPv3 message must be associated with one of these security levels. MD5 and SHA are the
