Abstract

A method of encoding and encrypting input data (D1) to generate corresponding encoded and encrypted data (E2) is provided. The input data (D1) is encoded to generate intermediate encoded data streams. The intermediate encoded data streams include at least one critical data stream that is critical and essential for subsequent decoding of one or more remaining data streams of the intermediate encoded data streams. The at least one critical data stream is encrypted using one or more encryption algorithms to generate at least one intermediate encrypted data stream. Subsequently, unencrypted portions of the intermediate encoded data streams are merged together with the at least one intermediate encrypted data stream to generate the encoded and encrypted data (E2).
