It can encode a given bit stream of optical pulses, changing their phase and their amplitude as a function of an encryption serial key that merge with the data stream, generating a ciphered stream. The greatest advantage of the device is real-time encrypting ¨C data can be transmitted at the original speed without slowing down. %K Cryptographic Device %K Security Device %K Soliton Interaction %K All-optical Switching %K Spatial Soliton %K All-optical Device. %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=3307
