摘要
A DWDM optical system in a first embodiment includes a plurality of scramblers on the transmit side and a plurality of corresponding de-scramblers on the receiver side of the DWDM system. Each scrambler includes an input for an encryption key with the corresponding de-scrambler including an input for the same encryption key. In accordance with the pseudorandom encryption key, input data channels are scrambled onto output optical channels to provide data security across the optical path. With a suitable algorithm, this technique can provide very strong data confidentiality. The strength of the technique of the embodiments of the invention resides in the scrambling algorithm that is used to scramble the data over the optical carriers. Preferably the scrambling algorithm is very unpredictable and does not repeat for a very long time.
