Abstract

A fiber link system, method and device for masking signals on a fiber link system. The system includes sending a desired sequence of information in the form of a true signal that is typically intended to be transferred between legitimate users at both ends of a link. Sending chaff signals, or subterfuge signals, alongside the true signal to mask such legitimate signals in the fiber cable from intruders tapping into the fiber cable.
