According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for broadcast encryption with security classes in a media key block is provided. In one embodiment the method includes receiving encrypted media of a first and a second class, where the media includes a common media key block, in a device of a first class and in a device of a second class. A first media key is calculated from the common media key block in the device of a first class. A first media key precursor is calculated from the common media key block in the device of a second class. The first media precursor may be used to decrypt media of a first class. The first media precursor may also be used to calculate a second media key in the device of a second class to decrypt content of a first class.
