1. A method of ciphering and deciphering binary coded messages represented by coded series of pulses comprising setting a first pulse generator to an initial condition as defined by a secret basic code and then generating under control of a first clock a first binary coded series of cipher pulses, transmitting a part of the first series of cipher pulses to a receiving station, generating at the receiving station under control of a second clock a second binary coded series of cipher pulses having a distribution identical with the first series of cipher pulses, changing at the receiving station the part of the first and a corresponding part of the second series of cipher pulses in their relative positions and forming for each of said positions over an interval of several pulses one correlation factor by multiplying together the values of the momentarily opposite simultaneous pulses of the corresponding parts of the first and second series of cipher pulses and summation of the results of said multiplications, step synchronizing with this series of correlation factors a further part of the second series of cipher pulses with a corresponding part of the first series of cipher pulses, taking advantage of the criterion that the step synchronism of the parts of the first and second series of cipher pulses gives an optimal value of the correlation factor, generating at the transmitting station clear message pulses representing a message to be transmitted, mixing the clear message pulses with a step synchronized part of the first series of cipher pulses to form an enciphered pulse train, transmitting the enciphered pulse train to the receiving station and mixing at the receiving station the enciphered pulse train with the corresponding step synchronized part of the second series of cipher pulses taking into account any phase deviation between the corresponding step synchronized parts of the first and second series of cipher pulses to decipher the transmitted message.
