I don't see any need for authentication/security protocols for D-star beyond what's already in place. What ever in the world for? We've done just fine for many years without it on analouge V/UHF repeaters, Echolink and etc. We don't need it anymore than we would need it on HF DX. Bill KE7ONZ

All, thanks for your replies and arguments. Authentication subject has been raised in connection with negative examples in analog repeater networks and AMPR in the past. Until then while the repeater works locally - security is a problem of repeater's owner. But as soon as this repeater will be c

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. Bert Bruner

Thank you All for answers and clarifications. Really the key word of my question was AIR interface (RF) authentication. Do we have a procedure to implement this feature (air interface authentication) in D-Star? For radio digital protocol it should not be difficult technically. 73, Karen RA3APW
