IT sneak-peak

AES and SHA support for SNMPv3 [ZBXNEXT-450]

According to the SNMPv3 standard, we've implemented AES privacy protocol and SHA authentication protocol support for SNMPv3. They can now be used instead of DES and MD5 for items, low-level discovery rules and network discovery checks. Using these encryption protocols will make your system more secure, which may be critical for some environments.
