Unlike commercial and consumer wireless, based on standards emphasizing cost, speed and interoperability, secure military and intel gear pays careful attention to low probability of detection and intercept (LPD/LPI) and traffic analysis. Their major tech focus is at the PHY layer using proprietary methods. Until the advent of Software Defined Radio the technology and cost to implement such protection were beyond all but the very well-funded. This presentation will review some of the publicly known capabilities of government monitoring and the practicality of defeating them using SDR, cypherpunk and varients of even amateur radio tech.
