1. A first waveguide system comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving communications;determining whether the communications are encrypted;responsive to a determination that the communications are not encrypted, encrypting the communications to generate encrypted communications; andtransmitting, to a second waveguide system, electromagnetic waves to a physical interface of a transmission medium that propagate without utilizing an electrical return path, wherein the electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium, wherein the electromagnetic waves are within a non-optical frequency range, wherein the electromagnetic waves convey the encrypted communications.
