“…Live data about the monitored systems is used to detect system problems and pinpoint their source. Several performance monitoring tools employ the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) [1]. SNMP provides a means for connecting to and collecting data from servers, firewalls and network devices, mainly for the purpose of performance monitoring.…”

This paper proposes the use of monitoring tools to record data in support of digital forensic investigations. The collection of live system data requires integrity checks and data validation to be performed as the data is collected and stored. Combining system monitoring and digital forensic functionality in a single system reduces the cost and complexity of administration and maintenance, while enhancing forensic readiness.

This document describes a Transport Model for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), that uses either the Transport Layer Security protocol or the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The TLS and DTLS protocols provide authentication and privacy services for SNMP applications. This document describes how the TLS Transport Model (TLSTM) implements the needed features of a SNMP Transport Subsystem to make this protection possible in an interoperable way.This Transport Model is designed to meet the security and operational needs of network administrators. It supports the sending of SNMP messages over TLS/TCP and DTLS/UDP. The TLS mode can make use of TCP's improved support for larger packet sizes and the DTLS mode provides potentially superior operation in environments where a connectionless (e.g., UDP) transport is preferred. Both TLS and DTLS integrate well into existing public keying infrastructures.This document also defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular, it defines objects for managing the TLS Transport Model for SNMP. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document.This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.Information about the current status of this document, any errata, and how to provide feedback on it may be obtained at http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5953. . While (D)TLS supports multiple authentication mechanisms, this document only discusses X.509 certificate-based authentication. Although other forms of authentication are possible, they are outside the scope of this specification. This transport model is designed to meet the security and operational needs of network administrators, operating in both environments where a connectionless (e.g., UDP) transport is preferred and in environments where large quantities of data need to be sent (e.g., over a TCP-based stream). Both TLS and DTLS integrate well into existing public keying infrastructures. This document supports sending of SNMP messages over TLS/TCP and DTLS/UDP.This document also defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols. In particular, it defines objects for managing the TLS Transport Model for SNMP.Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58: The diagram shown below gives a conceptual overview of two SNMP entities communicating usin...
