Abstract

A scrambling method (510) divides a set of data (200) into a first portion and a second portion. A first scrambling method is performed on the first portion of the set of data to create a scrambled first portion of the data. The second portion of the set of data is modified with the scrambled first portion of the set of data to create a modified second portion of the set of data. A second scrambling method is performed on the modified second portion of the set of data to create a scrambled second portion of the set of data. The scrambled first portion of the set of data is modified with the scrambled second portion of the set of data to create a scrambled set of data (220). A descrambling method (520) reverses the scrambling method (510) to create a descrambed set of data (200).
