I don't see any need for authentication/security protocols for D-star beyond

The world is becoming a place where nobody trusts anybody. I frankly think
that's a disgusting state of affairs. Even if it's sometimes abused, the
friendly, work together attitude of ham radio is one of the best features of
the hobby. It should be one of the last things we change.

Greetings Karen.
Think of it this way, with OTARA (over the air radio authentication), what
is to stop
