``Because the TDL can decrypt content in real time, movies never need to be transported to the aircraft in the clear, says Pellegrini. Content remains encrypted from the time it leaves post-production until it is safely read by the TDL. The TDL provides built-in hardware decryption on the aircraft that supports DES, 3DES, and AES. The TDL uses a physically secure FIPS 140-1, level 2-compliant hardware device to perform authentication and encryption key storage.``

IMS can make all the statements they like in what ever method they manage their encryption....

...e.Digital does not preform a hardware DEcryption....e.Digital manages a hardware ENcryption and it never leaves that state .....hardware encryption is in full force when a digE unit is in service....while that encryption is in full force....other file dencryption service is handled for files called for.
