Abstract
An optical encryption method based on analog noise is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The transmitted data is encrypted with wideband analog noise. Without decrypting the data instantly at the receiver, the data is damaged by the noise and cannot be recovered by postprocessing techniques. A matching condition in both phase and amplitude of the noise needs to be satisfied between the transmitter and the receiver to cancel the noise. The precise requirement of the phase and amplitude matching condition provides a large two-dimensional key space, which can be deployed in the encryption and decryption process at the transmitter and receiver.
