ADEPT encryption relied on a single embedded encryption key per authorized device or app. All files intended for that device/app used the same key. And each ADE installation used one key.
The new drm apparently allows for multiple encryption passes and per file keys.
How it gets implemented remains to be seen but the possibility of per-file encryption suggests you might need to authenticate each file individually every time it is downloaded to a device or ADE installation, not just when it is downloaded from the store to the PC. Layered encryption might require a live internet connection for authentication the first time a file is opened for reading.
Conceivably, a file might need three authentications with three different single-use keys to get it to open for the first time.
