P25 Radio security and jamming
Admittedly this is not Type-1 encryption and most public safety organizations do little in the way of encryption but may do some things for “security” reasons. DES and AES are not Type-1 so there should not be any expectations of similar performance for the algorithm. For some reason they insist on using the term encryption...
Interesting article and discussion. The Project 25 “standard” is anything but “standard” as each manufacturer has their own spin on exactly how the TIA 102 standard is applied.
