For the moment lets create a model for one off downloads that have: file_id (from the file model) uid (a random value)
When the user has successfully filled in the password create a new entry in the OneOffDownload model and present them with a link such as /secure_download/<uid - from the OneOffDownload file>. If the link is accessed within 10 minutes of the created_at time_stamp (for example) let them download the file, otherwise present an error page and let them reenter the password.
