A method of securely transmitting data comprising (1) obtaining an unencrypted data stream comprising a first sequence of values, (2) segmenting a first portion of the first sequence of values into an original first word having a word-length equal to a first variable, (3) segmenting a second portion of the first sequence of values into an original second word having a word-length equal to a second variable different than the first variable, (4) inserting random values at predetermined locations in the original first and second words to generate modified first and second words, the modified first and second words having a word-length equal to a third variable different than the first and second variables, and (5) combining the modified first and second words into a second sequence of values defining an encrypted data stream.

A bus communicates bits in parallel between a transmitter and receiver. A selected set of bits has its bits scrambled. Scrambling the bits includes assigning two or more bits of the selected set of bits to atypical lanes of the bus. By scrambling the bits, the order in which the bits of the selected set of bits are ready by a processer are obscured. The set of bits is transmitted to the receiver with one or more delays. The delays are on one or more of the lanes of the bus. The delays indicate the order of the bits. The receiver is configured to use the delays to identify the order of the bits and unscramble the set of bits.

A method includes providing a plurality of variables and a variable. The variables differ from each other. The variables differ from the variable. The further method includes providing a lookup table indexing a plurality of characters via a plurality of values based on a first numeral system, converting a message into a first sequence of values based on the table, converting the first sequence into a second sequence of values based on a second numeral system different from the first system and according to a preset format, combining the second sequence into a single sequence via removing the format, generating a first plurality of subsequences from the single sequence based on segmentation of the sequence via alternating the variables, converting the first subsequences into a second plurality of subsequences such that each of the second subsequences is sized according to the variable, and transmitting the second subsequences.

Methods and devices for the communication of encrypted PPM signals for a radio communication system. There is a step of PPM encoding of an information item to be transmitted in which each symbol of an alphabet of symbols used to compose the information item to be transmitted is assigned a respective predefined temporal position of one pulse with respect to the preceding pulse of an original sequence of PPM pulses. There is a step of encryption, particularly at the physical layer, wherein at least one of the pulses of the transmitted sequence is time-shifted, according to a corresponding offset that is known only to authorized receivers, with respect to its predefined temporal position in the original sequence. The offset is such that the time-shifted pulse is not located, with respect to the pulse that precedes it, in any of the predefined temporal positions that are provided in the PPM encoding.
