The Ironic SNMP driver does not leverage the security features that SNMPv3 offers. Supporting them would improve the security of the control place network whenever SNMP is used for power management.

Since the underlying library (pysnmp) does all the SNMPv3 heavy lifting, at the level of the Ironic SNMP driver it is merely a matter of adding additional configuration parameters (crypto keys and protocol IDs) to utilize all the SNMPv3 security features.

On the flip side, that would introduce a dependency on the `pycryptodome` package which pysnmp uses for the low-level crypto operations.
