Abstract
One embodiment involves encrypting an MPEG transport stream by seeding a random number generator with a seed derived from at least a portion of the MPEG transport stream to produce a random number output. At least one program key and at least one modification key are generated from the random number output. At least portions of the MPEG transport stream are encrypted with the program key. At least one stored key is modified according to the modification key to produce a message segment key. The program key and the modification key are encrypted with the message segment key. The encrypted MPEG transport stream, the encrypted program key, and the encrypted modification key are multiplexed to form a multiplexed output.
