LXMF uses encryption provided by [Reticulum](https://reticulum.network), and thus uses end-to-end encryption by default. 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_. This mode offers Perfect Forward Secrecy. - If a message is delivered over a Reticulum link (which is the default method), the message will be encrypted with ephemeral AES-128 keys derived with ECDH on Curve25519. This mode offers forward secrecy.
- If a message is delivered to the Reticulum GROUP destination type, the message will be transported using _AES-128_ encryption. - 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 per-packet AES-128 keys derived with ECDH on Curve25519.
