I would not consider Meshtastic encryption secure or private just yet after reading over this Meshtastic Encryption.

The TLDR is that while comms are encrypted they can be captured (since messages are relayed) and then the encryption can be attacked offline in the future. Its called the "Harvest now, Decrypt later" attack. I'm a noob but will share what I learn here as well.
