Hi,

after a fruitful discussion on the first version 
(http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/opsawg/current/msg03022.html), we
have updated draft-hmac-sha-2-usm-snmp.

Major changes are:

- Protocol names unified to usmHMACXXXSHAYYYAuthProtocol.

- Definition of mandatory (usmHMAC192SHA256AuthProtocol) and recommended 
(usmHMAC256SHA512AuthProtocol) protocols.
(I just noticed that the abstract and introduction still talk about "new 
optional authentication protocols"; this is an
error I will fix in the next revision)

- Key word reference (RFC 2119) added

- MIB biolerplate added (Sections on The Internet-Standard Management 
Framework, Structure of the MIB Module,
Relationship to Other MIB Modules)

- Security Considerations considerably extended (guidance on cryptographic 
strength, key derivation from passwords,
access to MIB)

- IANA considerations clarified and comments for RFC Ed in MIB definition added

Comments are welcome. There was considerable interest in adoption by the WG, so 
please stand up if you have issues.

Johannes
