Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for encrypting content sent to a user. The user terminal is assigned a serial number. When content is received by the user terminal, it is encrypted and the serial number is embedded into the encrypted content. The content is decrypted if the serial number embedded in the encrypted content is the serial number associated with the user terminal. Content may also be simultaneously stored and displayed.
