Abstract

A method for synchronizing the scrambling sequences of communicating scrambler units of a privacy communications system in a reliable and secure manner. The method is particularly adapted for use in noisy or fade prone transmission environments, and permits late entry of authorized third parties to the system. The method utilizes digital sequences interleaved periodically with scrambled analog information to provide reliable synchronization.
