Asterisk over Amateur Radio Backhaul

I saw the following line in one of Jim Duuude’s replies yesterday about the Raspberry Pi:

Also, there is some random poopy about the crypto libraries under that distro, which

may require using Asterisk version 1.6 instead of the “normal” distro"

I might remember seeing something about it before, but judging by that sentence it seems Asterisk uses encryption in its interconnections. Is this correct?

How would this factor into using repurposed WLAN equipment under Part 97 as backhaul for asterisk/app_rpt? Can the system be run without the use of encryption?

Thanks,

That is ABSOLUTELY the FARTHEST thing from accuracy.

The crypto stuff is used to verify SSL keys for “official”
system (portal) oriented connections, such as the telephone
portal. It has nothing to do with ANY audio (or other node to
node) payloads, and if I have control over it NEVER will even
have the capability. That is the intended nature of Amateur Radio..

Thanks Jim.... I even disabled it on my Pi since we had issues with it.

Just too busy with work to get into all of the details right now.

Cheers,
