“Temporal cloak” used to hide data transmitted at 12.7 Gbps

Ars Technica explains “Temporal cloak” used to hide data transmitted at 12.7 Gbps "In the past few years, there has been a regular series of announcements about devices that cloak something in space. These typically bend light around the cloak so that it comes out behind the object looking as if it had never shifted at all. In contrast, there's just been a single description of a temporal cloaking device, something that hides an event in time. The device works because in some media different frequencies of light move at different speeds. With the right combination of frequency shifts, it's possible to create and then re-seal a break in a light beam."
