Hi! I researched but didn't found something about the encryption of the messages. I'm wondering if the VMAIL and FILEs we send is being encrypted, if yes what do the program use.
Encryption has obvious utility, but once you use it, you're not acting as a ham radio operator; even if licensed and on amateur frequency allocations. The wish for encryption capability is for communication security (what else) - not necessarily amateur radio communications. VarAC works for services other than ham radio, i.e. CB, and may not be legal for other services but is between the user and regulating authorities. Encryption is the same - between the user and regulators. I too wish VarAC had encryption as an option.
I don't mean that someone is tracking me, or the person I'm talking with.
But if the private broadcast, VMail and files we send to each other had been E2E-encrypted I think it would be much more better if the conversation between two person stayed private.You can correct me if I'm wrong. ☺️
This should work to encrypt text before pasting into the data box or files before sending. I've not yet tried it with VarAC, but see no reason why it won't work. This app works well otherwise. https://paranoiaworks.mobi
Yes, you are right in that point but I thought it maybe exist anything that could be like an protection. I agree the thing about trust, but it would be good if something existed. Thank you for you spend time to answer. I will maybe ask more about your program.
What in the hamradio protects you from anything ? :) Hamradio os a world taht is built o trust. I can use your callsign and login to any packet bbs and get your messages. I can make QSO with your callsign. I can falsely report your location on PskReporter to be in the Bahamas. Hamradio is an open system that is built of trust. Encryption is illegal by license.

Why do you need encryption for Ham Radio comms?????

Encryption is not allowed in the hamradio world. Licenses prohibit this.
