EMERGENCY ??? AMATEUR RADIO NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW!

[Louis Mamakos]

On the other hand, if you want to use commodity 802.11 wifi radios in the amateur service in some sort of wide area mesh network, then crypto is just what you need.  How else do you prevent non-amateur stations from using wifi radios in an Amateur network they shouldn't be using?  Invent yet another flat-tire authentication system that just adds complexity as compared to existing widely fielded and robust protocols?

Then we stay by the runner until the bike medics or an ambulance/gator shows up. Only if the Medical Director asks is more information passed over ham radios.  In the aid stations we use higher speed data radios that few own ( but not encrypted) and D-STAR Digital Voice for any voice traffic.
