Security #25

Open monkeytronics opened 5 years ago

Hi. This is a great project. In terms of security, what is the benefit of password protecting your access point? The reasons I ask:

  1. The data is still being exchanged in the clear, isn't it?
  2. To deploy this at scale, you would have to supply the password, so that layer of security is lost.
  3. Has anyone had a crack at adding a secure key exchange to this at all? I'm willing to have a go, but it's probably beyond me...
