I don't remember exactly when or where I've read that that's how it works, but I have. And more importantly, think about it from a design/coding point of view. WHY IN THE WORLD would you send that information to everyone at the table? That would open a potentially HUGE security hole. I think it's obvious that this information shouldn't be transmitted until the showdown - similar to how the flop info shouldn't be transmitted until the flop, and how much Opponent A bets on the turn until he's made his turn bet (etc, etc, etc, etc, etc). There is simply no reason to send out this information prematurely, encrypted or not. That would make zero sense.
