Abstract

A dual-framing-bit-alignment apparatus having a communications channel, a data device, an encryptor, a framing-bit device, a decryptor, a first framing-bit repositioner, and a second framing-bit repositioner. The first data device generates a first data-bit sequence having a first framing-bit sequence. The encryptor encrypts the first data-bit sequence as an encrypted-bit sequence. The framing-bit device substitutes on the encrypted-bit sequence, a second framing-bit sequence, thereby generating a framed-encrypted-bit sequence. The decryptor decrypts the framed-encryped-bit sequence as a second data-bit sequence. The second data-bit sequence contains errors due to the second framing-bit sequence. A second framing-bit repositioner detects in the second data-bit sequence, the first framing-bit sequence and the errors. In response to detecting the errors and the first framing-bit sequence, the first framing-bit repositioner aligns the first framing-bit sequence with the second framing-bit sequence.
