A system for multi-stream security processing and distributing digital
media streams includes a headend, a network, and at least one receiver.
The headend is generally configured to generate encrypted digital media
streams. The network may be coupled to the headend and configured to
receive the encrypted digital media streams. The at least one receiver
may be coupled to the network and configured to receive the encrypted
digital media streams and present a decrypted version of the encrypted
digital media streams. At least one of the headend and the at least one
receiver include a security processor that may be configured to provide
at least one of simultaneous multiple encryption and simultaneous
multiple decryption processing of the digital media streams.
