Are the BPL provides going to encrypt their signals? It is
possible that these bozos, thinking that there is no "significant"
leakage, are not going to do encryption.

Best tell potential users that BPL is not a secure system, and that
someone could find out your credit card numbers and such if
you order something on line.... Because it "broadcasts" that
info into the air.

Access BPL is a digital system. If your browser has the
many-bit encryption it will be secure both ways.

Hacker razzbonyas don't have supercomputers at their disposal
to crack even 128-bit encryption used on the Internet a couple
years ago.

Encrypted digital signals going out as incidental RF radiation
are nothing but NOISE to those without the decryption softstuff.

Of course, if you are REALLY paranoid, please remember that
some of "those out there" might really be following you... :-)
