1. A method of optical signal processing, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an optical signal including a plurality of frequency lines;
defining at least two wavesets including an updatable random subset of the frequency lines;
receiving a data stream;
modulating the optical signal with the data stream;
encrypting the data stream by extracting the subset of the frequency lines of the at least two wavesets from the modulated optical signal; and
phase coding the subset of frequency lines of the at least two wavesets in the modulated optical signal.

Abstract
A method for optical signal processing includes receiving an optical signal containing a plurality of frequency lines, defining at least two wavesets including an updatable random subset of the frequency lines, receiving a data stream, modulating the optical signal with the data stream, encrypting the data stream by extracting the subset of the frequency lines of the at least two wavesets from the modulated optical signal, and phase coding the subset of frequency lines of the at least two wavesets in the modulated optical signal.

27. A receiver for optical signal processing, comprising:
-
at least one phase decoder configured to receive a phase coded modulated optical signal, identify at least two wavesets including a random subset of frequency lines, and perform phase decoding on the random set of frequency lines of the at least two wavesets in the phase coded modulated optical signal; and at least one demodulator configured to receive the modulated optical signal after the phase decoder performs the phase decoding and demodulate the modulated optical signal to extract at least one data stream. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
