It might be that simple, though I wouldn't wager any money on it givent
hat these are Windwos clients we're talking about.  But yeah, aside
from the gory details necessary to keep Windows apps from losing their
breakfast, that's what I've been saying all along: put the secure store
on the far side of a filesharing protocol and a lot of the
implementation problems go away because you're no longer dealing with
the on-their-hard-drive filesystem.

AndOfCourse this assumes you secure the server itself from tampering. 
Depending on the FDA's specific criteria, you might need to use storage
that's physically write-once in the end anyway.

actually winning [the lottery].  -- David Dyer-Bennet
