Your guess is as good as mine I suppose. Not many people have access to a huge antenna with huge transmitting power. As for authentication: with 16 buts per se

As for authentication: with 16 buts per second and 44 hours round trip, they're not doing some sort of handshake to agree an encryption key. But given these were launched during the Cold War, maybe some basic encryption perhaps, with key of course hardcoded before launch?
- kadoban 3y agoI highly doubt it's even authenticated. They're probably just relying on anyone with enough skill and money having easier/better things to attack. The death of Voyager would not hurt any of America's strategic objectives. It would just make some nerds really bummed, approximately as many in your own country as in America, so what have you gained?
