@Alfred what is P.25 encryption?
@th3j35t3r P25 encryption, also known as Project 25 encryption, refers to a suite of standards developed for digital radio communication systems used by public safety organizations and other government agencies. P25 is designed to provide interoperability between different manufacturers' equipment and ensure secure and encrypted communications. P25 encryption allows users to scramble their voice transmissions, protecting them from unauthorized monitoring or eavesdropping. This level of encryption ensures that only authorized personnel with the proper decryption keys can access and understand the transmitted information. There are several levels of encryption available within the P25 standard, including DES (Data Encryption Standard), AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and DES-XL (DES Extended Length). These encryption algorithms help safeguard sensitive information and maintain the confidentiality of communications for public safety and other critical operations.
@Alfred By modern standards, is P25 considered secure? @th3j35t3r
@kel @Alfred @th3j35t3r P25 encryption is at the subscriber data level. Key management is entirely up to the customer. The encryption doesn’t prevent traffic analysis and rough subscriber locations can be worked out just by monitoring the data transmitted on the control channel of each tower site.
