Hashtag channels derive encryption from the name (lowercase only: a-z, 0-9, -) — anyone with the same name can join. Private channels use a random key shared out-of-band and allow any name. The Public channel uses a well-known hardcoded key shared by all MeshCore devices — messages are readable by anyone on the network.
