A computerized device configured to package content for secure distribution, comprising:

• memory operative to store computer program instructions;
• one or more processors;
• input/output interface circuitry;
• and
• interconnect circuitry coupling the memory, processors and input/output interface circuitry together,
• wherein the one or more processors are operative to execute the computer program instructions from the memory to cause the computerized device to:
• encrypt a content item using a plurality of content encryption keys, each content encryption key is used for an amount of time to encrypt a different portion of the content;
• provide a license server with the content encryption keys, wherein the content encryption keys are provided separately for delivery to client devices for use in decrypting the content item, the license server being operative to establish that a requesting client device is authorized to access the content item, the license server being further operative to securely deliver the plurality of content encryption keys to a requesting client device whose authorization to access the content item has been established;
• and
• generate packaged content and providing it to a content delivery network for delivery to client devices, the packaged content including the content item as encrypted and being accompanied by key expiration information usable by the client devices to identify transitions between sections of the packaged content encrypted by different ones of the content encryption keys.
