Detailed Description

This class is the base class for all security models.

A security model is basically just a way of describing the security (however weak) of the SNMP communication.

See RFC-3411.

There are three standardized models:

SNMPv1 This is basically just stating that whatever SNMPv1 did in terms of security (community strings), then this is that.
SNMPv2 This is basically just stating that whatever SNMPv2 did in terms of security (community strings), then this is that.
User-based Security Model (USM) This is the model that is required to be supported by any SNMPv3 agent.

Others are possible (including enterprise-specific ones).
