    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support safe preview and immediate delivery of a document from a document producer to an end user while protecting the user from accidentally opening the original document if it has been tampered with by an email attacker. First, the original document is submitted to a safe preview server cluster, where a passcode is generated for the document and the document is processed for policy assessments of possible security threats. The document is then encrypted with the generated passcode and provided to the user together with results of the policy assessments and a preview of content of the document for preview upon request. Based on the user's choice, the user can retrieve the passcode from the server and decrypt the document with the passcode wherein the original document is deleted from the safe preview server cluster once it is downloaded.
