Abstract
The device and method according to the present invention permute the order of signals representing information intended for transmission over a communication medium. The signal ordering is permuted prior to or at the time of transmission over the communication medium such that when the information or data is transmitted in the permuted order, it is more tolerant to data corrupting defects, such as a faulty communications line, or events, such as an electromagnetic pulse, that exist or may occur during the communication process.
