Editing Reverse engineering Bambu Connect (section)

===Additional security measures===
Bambu Connect also encrypts G-code commands and file paths of print operations using the printer's public key. This ensures that only the intended printer can decrypt the data, rather than all authenticated MQTT clients and the cloud. This adds another layer of security.

The potential security benefits are diminished, however, because both the encrypted and plain-text strings are sent at the same time, likely because of negligence or the need for backwards compatibility.

Note that network traffic is encrypted by TLS regardless of this, ensuring that no middleman can decrypt it.
