"256-bit encryption" doesn't tell us anything. What's the algorithm? Where's the implementation?
AES-256 for example, is considered uncrackable. But it's perfectly possible that Motorola is using something wacky and home-grown and calls it "256-bit" just to get the bullet-point on the box.
- pipo234 3y agoOr an RSA private key of a mere 256 bits, which would be way too small. :-)
- The_Colonel 3y agoThe standard in question (P25) is indeed using AES-256.
- c4ptnjack 3y agoNot necessarily. It provides for all sorts of encryption schemes, including none. That and they're likely LMR not P25 being in the part of Europe they're in.
- The_Colonel 3y agoAES is the only one supported with 256bit key length.
