Richard asked why 10 years ago Kerberos security model wasn't adopted. The reason was not because KSM design was bad. At that time, people believed that USM would be sufficient. It had been proven wrong so that isms was formed. KSM is peer to USM and provides similar functionality of using SSH + RADIUS. It doesn't compete with the current isms work because some ISP may decide to use SSH and some may decide to use Kerberos. This draft is aimed to integrate Kerberos to SNMPv3.
