Have you read the relevant tutorial page on the project website?
See
   http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:snmptrap_SNMPv3

Note that SNMPv3 traps (as opposed to INFORMs) are probably
the hardest thing to get right.   I'd suggest you start with SNMPv3
informs, and only move on to traps once you've got informs working.
