Public Keys

The System Management Agent supports Public Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #11. This token interface standard defines the interface that is used for communication between SSL and PKCS #11 modules. The version of PKCS on which the PKCS library compiled with the System Management Agent is based is the PKCS#11 v2.11 standard.

As described in Authentication Protocol Algorithms, the SHA1 algorithm is supported in addition to MD5. If the PKCS library is not found on your system, then the SMA attempts to use the standard Net-SNMP internal MD5, without DES support.
