Some embodiments provide methods and systems for use in processing encrypted media content through a media processing stack, wherein the media processing stack comprises one or more ordered and successively arranged processing components. These embodiments receive the media content at each successive processing component and pass the media content to a successive processing component; optionally process the media content at each processing component; receive one or more decryption keys associated with the media content at one of the processing components; relay the decryption keys to one or more successive processing components to a decrypting one of the processing components that is capable of decrypting the media content, and decrypt the media content at the decrypting one of the processing components before passing the media content to the successive processing component.
