I remember reading (and watching on TV) a little about a system called "Green hornet" for voice encryption; was this the same thing? Matt 16:10, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Telecommunications Industry particularly the Cable Industry uses a device called a Descrambler which is obviously the opposite of a Scrambler. In my article on Cable Converter Box, I reference the term Scramble and Descramble and Descrambler several times. I wrote a brief article on Decramble to support the Cable Converter Article but when I use the term Descrambler it points to the Scrambler page without the definition in that article. Can we add a section on in this article on the subject of the Descrambler?

message: Clearly, if the input data is iid, then the scrambler serves no purpose, as it merely applies a one-to-one mapping, arriving at another iid sequence.  It ought to be mentioned, therefore, that a scrambler is only beneficial if the input data is not iid; in particular, the "vexatious" input sequences (e.g. strings of all zeros) must be more likely to appear than others; i.e. the statistics of the input data must be skewed in their favour.

message: It sort of looks to me like we need two Scrambler articles: Scrambler (encryption) and Scrambler (telecommunications). I'm not familiar with the analog encryption device described in the first paragraph of the intro to this article (but nowhere else that I can see). The material in the Randomizer article is an inferior duplicate of material appearing in this article. I've not heard this telecommunications function described as a "Randomizer". I support the merge. --Kvng (talk) 15:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that "pseudorandomizer" might be a more accurate description, but are there actually RSes that refer to it as such?  AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 07:09, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

:Thank you, but that would be non-standard spelling, particularly in the context that the word is used here. See this explanation. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 22:59, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling Mistake 

message: It's been suggested that this article be split between two new articles, Scrambler (encryption), and Scrambler (telecommunications).  Can anyone confirm that the only text in the body of this article that deals with the encryption variety the Cryptographic section?  AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 07:45, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

message: If someone could add dates to some of the events in this article, it would help. I have read that scrambler phones were used in the Nixon administration, but whether these were new or old technology by then, I have no idea. Fotoguzzi (talk) 18:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  History section? 

message: I suggest merging descramble into scrambler.
My understanding is that a scrambler and a descrambler are always used in matched pairs; either one without the other (or with an incompatible other) is useless.
I don't see how it is possible to have an encyclopedia article cover just one kind of device without reference to the other.
So it seems like it would be better to have just one article cover both kinds of device and the differences between them.
