A system for fast data encryption/decryption is provided. The system
includes a transmitter system having a transmitter direct digital
synthesizer (DDS). The DDS includes at least three transmitter
pseudo-noise (PN) component code generators PN.sub.x, PN.sub.y, PN.sub.z,
where each transmitter PN component code generator is adapted to generate
relatively prime transmitter PN component codes when compared with each
of the other transmitter PN component code generators. The transmitter
also includes a first processor coupled to the transmitter DDS, where the
first processor is adapted to determine a time slot number (TSN) relative
to at least two of the relatively prime transmitter PN component codes.
Also included in the transmitter is an encryptor for encrypting clear
data in accordance with the TSN. The system includes a receiver system
having a second processor adapted to determine the TSN; and a decryptor
coupled to the second processor. The decryptor is adapted to decrypting
the encrypted clear data in accordance with the TSN.
