Subject: [NTSysADM] EFS and Temporary files

I have a project that is in a highly secured environment and is governed by our 
PCI policies.  The project will allow a user to log into a locked down Hyper V 
VM that is running Windows 2012 R2 server and open IE 11 to download WAV files 
from a second Apache server on the local subnet.  The download directory has 
been redirected to a folder that is encrypted using EFS so all files are 
encrypted as well.  Once the project time frame is complete the downloads are 
deleted with evidence provided that the files are removed.  We can't securely 
erase the hard drives because multiple projects will be running at the same 
time.  So it has been determined that a deleted file that was encrypted meets 
the security team requirements.

What my main concern is the actual download process of the file.  I believe the 
file might be going to a temp folder in the users profile folder unencrypted 
before being copied over by the OS to the EFS encrypted folder.  Thus leaving 
those unencrypted bits on the hard drive.  At this point I don't know of any 
way of getting around this problem.

1. Has anyone successfully used EFS on the users iNetCache (or IE temp 
directory)?
2. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this differently?


Thank you in advance for any pointers,

Eric
