You statement related to "program level decryption" is misleading. In
all cases only the elementary streams are encrypted. Sending CA
descriptors at program level is only a mean of saying "this
descriptor is valid for *all* elementary streams of this program"

Here's the section 8.4.3.4 of EN50221 that specifies this behavior:

   The CA_descriptor after the current_next_indicator is at the
   programme level and is valid for all elementary components of the
   programme. The CA_descriptor(s) at elementary_stream level is (are)
   valid for the elementary_stream only. If, for one
   elementary_stream, CA_descriptor(s) exist at programme level and at
   elementary_stream level, only the CA_descriptor(s) at
   elementary_stream level are taken into account.
