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)

What is rolling code and non rolling code

[edit] "Scrambling" at schools

I think the para at the bottom - about scramblers used by schools to disrupt cell phone signals - is referring to a different type of scrambling (mere disruption of a signal by introduction of noise much stronger than the orig signal), not the "encryption" sense of the word that the rest of the article describes.12.32.45.119 04:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

You're right. Those are not scramblers, but jammers. I will amend the article. I include the old text below in case someone wants to integrate it into the jamming article: -- Securiger 22:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Some modern scramblers are also used by schools. This technique is proving quite popular in the United Kingdom, where schools purchase scramblers to prevent students from using mobile telephones during lessons. There has recently been local criticism that the scramblers can be too powerful and therefore disrupt communications for adjoining houses.

[edit] Descrambling Points to this page

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?
