True, you are not allowed to use encryption, nor are you allowed to 
obscure your messages. However, that does not mean that you are stuck 
when it comes to _authentication_.

For instance, you can legally use S-Key to securely telnet into your 
home PC over the radio. I have used this before to telnet to my home 
machine when I was behind a firewall that didn't pass SSH traffic.

You can also use IPv6 features that provide packet authentication to 
ensure your PC knows its you when you connect over the air.
