Zusammenfassung:The present invention is an encrypting speech processor architecture that provides enhanced security without the use of external cryptosync and with minimal speech degradation. This is accomplished by incorporating a block encryptor (34) and a keystream generator (36) (instead of a fixed secret mask encryption scheme, such as those implemented in voice ciphers) for encrypting blocks of encoded speech bits at a transmitter side. The block encryptor (34) employs an invertible cryptographic algorithm and internal cryptosync to convert a first block of encoded speech bits into a first ciphertext block (output 34). The first ciphertext block (output 34) is used to generate a keystream (output 36), which is then used to encrypt a second ciphertext block.
