Is it possible to view a "secure" pdf with Digital Editions?

Does Digital Editions allow the user to view a PDF with security, password secure, not password to open? If not how is security set on a PDF eBook for Digital Editions?

ADE will view PDF files secured with Password Security (version 8 and below), but only if they don't require a password to open the document (ie just a permissions password).

The primary method of securing eBooks however is by distributing books using Adobe Content Server 4, which uses a different encryption method.
