I'm Getting Into Mesh Networks... (Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum)

HN discussion on John’s article: I'm Getting into Mesh Networks (Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum) | Hacker News

(thus far the discussion has been ordinary)

wwayers:

crypto itself (X25519 + AES-256) isn’t getting broken without your keys

I get what you’re trying to say, but:

Depending the mode, ‘AES-256’ can be broken without the key, too. X25519, or any cryptography like EC/DDH that makes computational/polynomial-time hardness assumptions, is similarly vulnerable to quantum computers.
