In this paper we analyze the current approach that SNMPv3 applies to provide access control and we propose new architecture that implements a new type of access control, called Usage Control (UCON), to control the access to the SNMP-managed resources at: pre-connection, during connection, and post connection. We believe that our proposed solution will enable owners of the SNMP-managed network to have better control on who can access the MIBs, to control the activities of both the manager and the agent entities, and to help set some parameters to determine whether a communication between the agent and the manager can continue or should terminate.
