FIELD: computer equipment.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of transmitting packets containing digital data. A method of transmitting packets over a cloud, wherein the cloud comprises a network of media nodes comprises: scrambling a packet by changing the order of data segments in a packet in a first media node in accordance with a first scrambling algorithm; sending a packet to a second media node; descrambling a packet in a second media node in order to restore the order of data segments in said packet prior to said scrambling in said first media node; scrambling a packet in said second media node in accordance with a second scrambling algorithm after said descrambling in said second media node and transmitting said packet to a third media node, wherein said second scrambling algorithm differs from said first scrambling algorithm, such that the order of data segments in the packet when the packet arrives at the third media node is different from the order of data segments in the packet when the packet has arrived at the second media node.
EFFECT: secure data transfer.
