Abstract (en)

In order to prevent eavesdropping by detecting radiation given off by a video monitor dummy radiation is generated to disguise blank periods in the information. Also, the video information may be stored in order in alternating field stores 20, 22, and is read out from the stores under control of a random number generator 40, so that the lines of video information are displayed in random order on the cathode ray tube 62, but in the correct position.
