    Document files with sensitive information are used across nearly every industry. In recent years, cyberattacks have resulted in millions of sensitive documents being exposed. Although document encryption methods exist, they are often flawed in terms of usability, security, or deployability. We present a structured framework for evaluating document encryption methods, adapting the usability-deployability-security ("UDS") model to the document encryption context. We apply this framework to compare current methods, performing a comprehensive evaluation of nine document protection methods, including password-based, passwordless, and cloud-based approaches. Our analysis across 15 design properties highlights the benefits and limitations of current methods. We propose strategies and design recommendations to address key limitations such as memory-wise effort, granular protection, and shareability.
