System, method, and apparatus for securely providing content viewable on a secure device

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable components for use in playing a content stream, the computer-executable components comprising:

• a content media sub-system that is configured to receive selectively encrypted content that is encrypted using a content key, the content key being subsequently encrypted using a screener key that is in turn subsequently encrypted using a public key;
• and
• a decryption engine that is operative to perform actions, including:
• receiving the selectively encrypted content stream from the content media sub-system;
• receiving the encrypted screener key;
• decrypting the screener key using a private key associated with the public key, the private key being constrained to the apparatus;
• and
• employing the decrypted screener key to decrypt the content key;
• and
• employing the content key to decrypt the selectively encrypted content stream.

A method for securely playing a content stream, comprising:

• selectively encrypting at least a portion of the content stream using a content key;
• encrypting the content key using a screener key;
• and
• encrypting the screener key using a public key that is associated with a private key, the public key and the private key being bound to a player such that the public key and the private key are unique to the player, wherein the player is in communications with a cellular phone, the cellular phone being configured to receive at least one of the selectively encrypted content stream, an identity module useable to enable access to the screener key, or the encrypted screener key.
