A multimedia output device having embedded encryption functionality enables the outputting of content in an encrypted form. The multimedia output device receives the content to be encrypted, encrypts the content, and generates an electronic output of the encrypted content. The multimedia output device also generates an associated paper output that provides information about the decryption, such as a key, an identification of the electronic output of the encrypted content, and optionally a description of the contents of the content encrypted.
