Please check the classcomm project for how to do this. We determined the best/fastest approach would be to use Apache mod_auth_token and generate secure URLs using a custom template tag. You can find code and instructions for how to do that @ http://classcomm.googlecode.com/ and across the Internet. This is the best approach because the files are severed off the web server pretty much like any static overheard file. Then in your view code you check a User's permission to the file before generating them the time-sensitive URL.
