No, I'm not thinking so much encryption, as much as standard basic practices such as maintaining radio silence for all but the most vital of communications. In other words, it's much harder for you to find an enemy radio channel if they're not talking . Even if you did find it, the enemy almost certainly spoke another language, which you are unlikely to speak. Even if you managed to learn some of their language, you'd have to be a real expert to understand their brevity code well enough to figure it out.
All of this is on top of the fact that if you're listening to the enemy radio channel, you're not listening to the vital communications that may show up on your own.
In my general opinion, it is just impractical for your average fighter pilot to manage all of this. Getting data broadcast from some listening center that specifically listens to enemy coms is something else.
Anyways, I'm mostly just thinking about coop enforcement.
