Abstract
A content distribution system is disclosed that supports verification of transmission. In some embodiments, a remote probe device captures content and sends the content to a decrypting device so that decryption may be performed. The decrypting device may archive the content and may subsequently send the content to the probe device or to a playback device so that the content may be displayed. Consequently, the content distribution system can verify that specified content (e.g., an advertisement) was correctly distributed according to scheduled information.
