Accessing protected content for archiving

A non-transitory computer program product for accessing protected content comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising computer readable program code for a first computing device configured to:
• receive a notification from an archiving system, the archiving system having an encryption detection component that determines a presence of protection for a document received by the archiving system;
• receive a request at a decryption server system from the encryption detection component to determine one or more users able to decrypt the encrypted document;
• transmit a decryption request from the decryption server system to agent modules of one or more client system computing devices to identify at least users associated with information required to access the content of the protected document based on a set of rules that provide permission to decrypt the encrypted document, wherein the agent modules are configured to decrypt the encrypted document to provide a decrypted document;
• generate a protected document generated by encrypting the decrypted document to ensure security of decrypted document content;
• archive the protected document within the archiving system;
• generate a link between said archived protected document and said encrypted document;
• send an access request to at least one second computing device associated with the at least two determined users, the request being received by each of the at least two users to retrieve and utilize the required information to access the content of the protected document;
• and
• allow access via a remote session of the secure virtual desk to the link between said archived protected document and said encrypted document to allow access to the decrypted document content for utilizing the decrypted document content within the remote session of the secure virtual desktop,
• wherein the protected document is protected via at least one of encryption and password protection.

A computer-implemented method of accessing protected content comprising:

• providing an archiving system having an encryption detection component;
• examining a document received at the archiving system;
• using the encryption detection component to determine presence of an encryption of the document;
• upon detection of the encryption of the document, sending a request from the encryption detection component to a decryption server system to determine one or more users able to decrypt the encrypted document;
• receiving a decryption request transmitted from the decryption server system to agent modules of the client systems to identify one or more users having permission to decrypt the encrypted document;
• decrypting the encrypted document by the agent modules;
• transmitting the decrypted document from the agent modules to the archiving system;
• generating a protected document by encrypting the decrypted document within the archiving system to ensure security of decrypted document content, and archiving said protected document;
• providing a link between said archived protected document and said encrypted document;
• sending to said identified one or more users permission to decrypt a request through a secure virtual desktop to access the decrypted document content of said decrypted document;
• wherein at least one of said identified one or more users accessing the link through a remote session of the secure virtual desktop is allowed to access the decrypted document content of said decrypted document;
• and
• utilizing the decrypted document content within the remote session of the secure virtual desktop.
