An encryption renewal system for generating entitlement control messages, the system being secured by physical separation of components. The encryption renewal system has a first computing platform for performing non-secure tasks associated with one or more control messages that transmit one or more keys to a subscriber; and a second computing platform physically separate from the first computing platform containing one or more application specific integrated circuit chip for generating the one or more control messages. In addition, a method by the encryption renewal system is used to register an off-line encryption device in order to begin encrypting clear content. The method includes generating data for registering the off-line encryption device; encrypting the data with one or more cryptographic keys to form encrypted data; forwarding the encrypted data to the off-line encryption device; and retrieving the data from the encrypted data, wherein the off-line encryption device begins to encrypt clear content only after the data is retrieved.
