    It is often said encryption is against the spirit of ham radio. I personally don't subscribe to this perspective, but while doing research on DMR encryption I read a lot of vitriol for the whole concept of using encryption in amateur settings. I'm assuming this particular implementation is at least legal (most countries ban amateur encryption), but would be curious if any similar conversations are happening around it

  • @JeffBilkins
    @JeffBilkins 6 місяців тому +5

    I'd wait a bit before trusting my life on it and see how secure it is in practice. It won't be the first time an encryption scheme got broken by some side-channel or implementation vulnerability.
    Even if the individual messages are strong encrypted attackers could find a way around that by messing with the communications and protocol and read along anyway.

    • @ardentglazier2867

      Or that the crypto is properly implemented, or works at all, or that the device firmware isn't hacked in-band or via one it's many transceivers, or hacked at point of distribution, or compromised by an evil developer or via 'rubber hose' coercion.
      Security is hard.

    Does the Ripple firmware allow the T-Deck to still access meshtastic nodes for extended communication, or is it a completely separate network? I did notice that the Dev has updated to an "Ultra" version, adding mapping and geoup texting capability among other options, have you looked at these additional capabilities yet?

  • @blueredbrick

    One time tables generated by a true random source are to my knowledge the only form of encryption that is by definition also genrating a random sequence of values in all asoects egually as random as the table as long as the no prior information between the two parties was exchanged in private and in person and only between two parties at most. No part if the table can be reusused.ever.
    This means that also this encryption method is undecipherable by any means possible, quantum or infinite time will bot help. It will merely give all possible messages/sequences. And thoae inclufe the full works ifbshakesspeare the bibble and Pi to arbitrary precision. Nullyfyjng the attempt to gain usefull unfo.
    Also after being used up, it must be physically be destroyed. Not merely erased or writen over with other info as that still leaves some info about the original table.
    Nowadays datastorage is not that costly anymore, even if in a form of laser etching into fragile materials sacrificing thre data density for certainty of being the completely get rid if the used up info. For plain texts, a llillte table goes a long way. And meetups once in a while are a must anyway.

      Yes, in the US it is a 915 Mhz antenna needed. Ripple and Meshtastic aak for your location (region) so it is set up for the correct band. Ripple actually has a separate firmware for US vs UK band.

As a law abiding citizen I have never felt a compelling need to be off grid. Just saying.

      Good for you, if it’s not for you then no big deal, there are legitimate reasons for good people to have secure comms, for example I want to have secure comms during/after a natural disaster to coordinate supplies/movements with much lower risk of robbery. You also seem to place a lot of faith that the government has the best interests of people in mind, they have proven time and time again that giving up security for safety is not a good idea.
