The generation of gamma, neutrino, and X-ray radiation produced by the protons accelerated at shock fronts in young SN II envelopes, is considered. The shocked gas is known to form a shell limited by the inner and outer shock fronts. The accelerated particles are shown to be confined within the same region. The considered radiations result from pp-interactions inside the shell through production and decay of pions. A lower limit of the X-ray flux provided by secondary electrons and shock heated gas is estimated. The fluxes of gamma-ray, neutrino, and X-ray radiations expected from a SN II in the Galaxy are shown to be detectable. The signature of the considered mechanism is an early production of the signal (t off about 10-100 days), whereas the radiations produced inside the envelope are emitted when transparency sets in.
