To transpose, invert, displace, or otherwise modify a signal so as to render it unintelligible without the special receiving equipment to unscramble the signal. See also encrypt and signal.
See scramble in Computer
To make data indecipherable. The term stems from the early days of cryptography, which camouflaged analog transmissions by combining them with secret frequency patterns. Restoring the original frequencies is called "descrambling." Today, cryptography is mostly digital, and the 0 and 1 bits of digital data are rearranged into a different sequence. See cryptography.
