I'm assuming there would be some kind of algorithm to generate the encrypted key.


The algorithm has to be seeded with a secret (Stream ciphers work this way). You can't get around having to have Chome own a secret, and it's really hard to protect a secret when you're in a hostile environment (e.g. the user's PC). This is part of what makes DRM really hard.
