Abstract

A bus communicates bits in parallel between a transmitter and receiver. A selected set of bits has its bits scrambled. Scrambling the bits includes assigning two or more bits of the selected set of bits to atypical lanes of the bus. By scrambling the bits, the order in which the bits of the selected set of bits are ready by a processer are obscured. The set of bits is transmitted to the receiver with one or more delays. The delays are on one or more of the lanes of the bus. The delays indicate the order of the bits. The receiver is configured to use the delays to identify the order of the bits and unscramble the set of bits.
