Encryption over the internet should be all but trivial to implement -
and fully legal (in the US at least) as well.
However, any and all of that traffic would have to be blocked from going
out any I-gate - somehow. In order to go out on RF, it would first have
to be decrypted and then transmitted in plain text. Chances are, it'd
then be picked up by another I-gate and wind up on the APRS-IS
un-encrypted anyway. No real value to encrypting it after all.
Maybe a better question would include your desired goals and/or
concerns. Then we might brain-storm up an idea that'd meet your needs.

Hi, all.............
As the capabilities of Xastir are explored in our corner of the world,
one query was raised in discussion. Is there anyway, or more to the
point, what would be required, to have GPS location packets encrypted?
The thought was related to the secure use of Xastir in tactical operations.
Similarly, what would be required to add another digit to the position
accuracy that is transmitted and received? Presumably, Xastir will plot
whatever it gets as data.
Finally, I was told the Motorola has a 2m Radio/GPS handheld unit (ala
Garmin Rino), but I have been unable to find it or any information about
it. Does anyone have any info?
Many thanks............ jt
