Oops, you're right. Sorry, I've been in too many "well, but if we
just encrypt it well enough..." discussions. Apologies, everyone.

Ah, yes, I see. This will work nicely (as long as you use a new key
for each block of data). Quite clever idea.

A modern gaming PC has more than sufficient CPU to do this with any
common symmetric cipher.
I suspect that the round trip time between the server deciding the
client can have the key now and actually getting it delivered might
be the real constraint. For things that involve a pause (such as
opening a door or gate), this can probably be disguised. For things
like coming around a hill, it might be harder, since the server may
not have an accurate idea of what the client can see synced closely
enough to real time.
