This document discusses the basics of BISS scrambling. It describes BISS mode 1, which uses a session word, and BISS mode E, which encrypts the session word using an identifier and encryption algorithm. BISS mode E provides an additional layer of protection for transmitting the session word. The document also outlines how encrypted session words are calculated, how rate adaptation works, and the operation of BISS mode 1 and BISS mode E using buried or injected identifiers.
