necessary to take up the coding or decoding operation afresh
from there, without it being necessary to begin all over
again from the start."

An improved secure communication system comprising: A
first and a second pseudorandom noise generator, said generators
having,respectively, a first and a second shift register, each
register having N stages and having logical circuit means for
randomly recirculating binary bits through the register for
generating a random repeatable pattern of binary bits, A reset
pulse source coupled to all stages of said first register to reset
said first register to a predetermined starting binary number, A
starting point switch matrix comprising N logical zero-one
switches connected, respectively, between the stages of said
second register and said reset pulse source, Means for feeding a
binary information number to said switches to reset said second
register to a starting point a predetermined number different from
the starting binary number of said first register, Transmitting
means for transmitting said pseudorandom noise generators outputs
connected to the outputs of said pseudorandom noise generators;
Receiving means for receiving said transmitting means
transmissions, said receiving means having an output; Recycling
storage means connected to the output of said receiving means for
storing the receiving means output signals; A third pseudorandom
noise generator identical in sequence to said first and second
pseudorandom noise generators having an output and a reset input,
said receiving means output connected to said reset input; A
correlator having a first input connected to said storage means
and a second input connected to said third pseudorandom noise
generator output for generating a signal upon correlation of said
storage means output and said third pseudorandom noise generator
output, and; Timing means connected to said correlator for timing
the interval between outputs thereof. Relates to SONAR.

Communications Scrambler System 380/45;
375/141; 380/46; 380/47- A scrambler system in which amplitude
zero-crossings in speech are encrypted at a transmitter by
combination with a pseudo-random digital sequence, the reverse
process occurring at the receiver. The amplitude envelope need not
be encrypted, but if desired, can be encrypted by combination with a
further pseudo-random digital sequence. A higher level of scrambling
can be achieved in the transmitted signal by using the conjugate of
the amplitude envelope. With a sequence bit rate of about two
kilobits per second, there is no increase in bandwidth requirements
compared to the transmission of unscrambled speech. Thus standard
transceivers can be employed, and pre-existing ones readily modified
for scrambling and unscrambling. 3859515

- uses 3 tones for synchronization like the KY-57
- A system for synchronizing the operation of two or more voice
privacy units. At least one otherwise "clear" tone is modulated by a
statistically random signal known as a Barker word, this tone then
being mixed with the audio signals and transmitted. The modulation
is present for a very short time, the conclusion of the modulation
initiating the operation of a code generator which scrambles the
succeeding audio signals. The recognition of the reception of the
modulated tone at the receiver initiates the operation of its code
generator (at the conclusion of the modulation), thereby recovering
the original plaintext speech. This is a form of speech
inversion 3909534

Method which uses a non-volatile memory to store a crypto
key and a check word for an encryption device Nov 22, 2005
A method using a
Non-Volatile Memory circuit which operates as an
interface between a key loader and an encryption device
in a missile's telemetry system. The method includes a
step for storing a crypto key and an associated check
word and a backup crypto key and check word in the
EEPROM of a microcontroller, and a step for indicating
the status of a load of the crypto key in the
microcontroller as well as a step for indicating the
status of an erase of the crypto key from the
microcontroller. The method also includes a step for
turning off the missile's transmitter when a key load
occurs to prevents transmission of the crypto key and
its corresponding check word. The method further
includes a step for erasing the crypto key and its
associated check word from an EEPROM within the
microcontroller upon a missile launch.
