6.2 List of Security Parameters
o Passwords (Basic, Advanced, and Admin User): Used to login to the radio as either Basic,
Advanced, or Admin user.
o Encryption Key (also called RF-Auth-Key): This is a 256-bit sequence, represented as 64
hex numbers. It is used to establish an encrypted connection in a network.
o SSH Host Key: This key is used for authenticating the radio to all machines that want to
connect to it via SSH.
o SSH Login Key(s): These are ecdsa private/public key pairs. They are used for authorizing
SSH access to the radios. These key pairs are used instead of passwords since they are
more secure.
o TLS Host Key (also called HTTPS Certificate): This certificate is used to establish a HTTPS
connection. The underlying elliptic curve keys can be either secp256r1, secp384r1, or
secp521r1.
