Abstract

A single sync field (501) and multiple messages or message segments (503, 507, 511, and 515) are chained (407) together and encrypted (407) as a whole. When this encrypted chained message is received, it is decrypted as a whole (605), or in part (613) by setting up (609) and filling (611) a holding register with the encryption state of the encrypting device.
