By default Reticulum encrypts all data using public-key cryptography. Any message sent to a
destination is encrypted with that destinations public key. Reticulum can also set up an encrypted
channel to a destination with *Perfect Forward Secrecy* and *Initiator Anonymity* using a elliptic
curve cryptography and ephemeral keys derived from a Diffie Hellman exchange on the SECP256R1 curve.
In Reticulum terminology, this is called a *Link*.

Reticulum also offers symmetric key encryption for group-oriented communications, as well as
unencrypted packets for broadcast purposes, or situations where you need the communication to be in

* Asymmetric RSA encryption and signatures as basis for all communication
* Perfect Forward Secrecy on links with ephemereal Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman keys (on the SECP256R1 curve)
* Perfect Forward Secrecy on links with ephemereal Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman keys (on Curve25519)
* Reticulum uses the Fernet specification for encryption on links and to group destinations
