It looks as if I'm going to go with a product by softwinter --
www.softwinter.com called Sentry 2020, or something similar. I'm
playing with it right now. The product allows you to create an
encrypted file that can be mounted and formatted as a hard drive if you
have the key file, and the password to the key file. This solves all of
my authentication issues with Windows EFS. I tested loading a SQL
Server database on the mounted drive. My data loading routing took
about about 5% longer to run (2:30 instead of 2:24). Performance seems
quite acceptable.

Is there a way to easily and securely use the Windows Encrypted File
System (EFS) with IIS and ASP.NET? Alternatively, I would prefer to
find some sort of totally encrypted low-level device driver to
lock-down and encrypt a hard drive. I remember back in my high school
days experimenting with a low-level driver called KOH.COM that would
require a password upon startup to decrypt file system files. It would
be wonderful if a similar solution were available for NTFS.
