The delivery method of a message will influence which transport encryption scheme is used. -- A message can be delivered opportunistically, embedded in a single Reticulum packet. In this cases the message will be opportunistically routed through the network, and will be encrypted with _ephemeral_ keys derived with _ECDH_ on _Curve25519_.
