Zusammenfassung:Embodiments relate to apparatuses (10; 20), a system (350), methods and computer programs suitable for transmitting encrypted output data packets and/or receiving encrypted input data packets in an optical data transmission network (300). The apparatus (10) is suitable for transmitting encrypted output data packets in the optical data transmission network (300). The apparatus (10) comprises one or more interfaces (12) to obtain input data packets and to provide the encrypted output data packets. The apparatus (10) further comprises a control module (14) to determine the encrypted output data packets based on the input data packets and information related to an encryption. The encrypted output data packets comprise information related to control information and information related to payload information. The information related to the control information comprises information related to operator-specific control information. The information related to the operator-specific control information comprises information related to encryption instructions based on the information related to the encryption.
