ABSTRACT:
A self-authenticating apparatus for effecting secure communication of a binary signal. In the encipherment apparatus, key is generated as a function of plain text summed with a pseudorandom linear sequence. The decipherment apparatus performs a reverse function in an autokey mode. Incoming cipher text is summed with generated key to create a plain text stream. As in the encipherment device, key is generated as a function of the resulting plain text summed with a pseudorandom linear sequence.
