It pains me to mention this but I don't think it's responsible not to: https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/issues/4030

At time of writing (2025-09-27, plus or minus a timezone), there does not appear to be any serious attempt to secure application-layer message contents. (At least, not yet)

My hope is that this cool new radio link option will still gain traction and grow and develop without painting itself into a corner, security-wise.

To wit- security hints on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model have improved substantially since my last readthrough.

As if the Meshtastic devs care about anything but pretending to be a business masquerading as an open source project.

They are quite possibly one of the most toxic projects right now.

At least in the linked issue, the project member who, on request of an outside contributor, reopened the issue seemed pretty open towards a fix?
