We demonstrate that two chaotic systems, each made by two coupled semi
conductor lasers, can be synchronized using direct-optical feedback. T
he robustness of the proposed synchronization scheme against mismatch
of source parameters and difference in starting conditions is tested b
y numerical simulations. Applications to secure data transmission are
proposed, namely chaotic masking and chaotic shift keying (CSK).
