Talk Track Two
Meshtastic uses inexpensive LORA radios to create ad hoc mesh messaging networks that don’t require centralized organizations or companies to operate. This makes them ideal for regional communications, and when configured properly, provides secure anonymous communications. Whether you want to chat with friends, share data among devices in the region, or want to perform highly covert communication in a group, this talk will give you all the information you need.
This presentation will discuss:
- The fundamentals of LORA radio and mesh networking.
- The capabilities of Meshtastic.
- The hardware choices for running Meshtastic.
- How to configure Meshtastic for secure communications.
- An examination of additional threats to covert communication and what configuration options/techniques can be used to mitigate them.
