Abstract

A method for encryption and decryption of analog signal, wherein encryption and decryption are performed in analog domain. The transmitter creating digital representations with unique behavior; producing computation instructions for each digital representation; randomly generating analog identification signals with random waveform appearance and yet preserving common behavior as in said digital representation; encryption through partitioning said analog signal and inserting said analog identification signals prior to, in between, and/or after said partitioned analog signal segments. As a result, encrypted analog signal sequence becomes totally destructed to unauthorized receivers. An authorized receiver measuring incoming analog signal according to said digital representation or said computation instruction, locating identification signals within said incoming signal sequence through satisfying said digital representation; decryption through deleting all said identification signals and reconstructing said incoming analog signal to its original form.
