Systems and methods for input interfaces promoting obfuscation of user navigation and selections

Abstract:

Techniques for obfuscating selection of an option during user-input of sensitive information, involving displaying several targets, such as via a virtual keyboard, on a device display, where each target corresponds to one of multiple options. When a first visual indication of a current user target moves to a first target in response to a first user navigation input, an obfuscation system can concurrently or soon thereafter move a second visual indication of a first distractor target to another target. The current user target is thus obfuscated as two different visual indicators move through the targets.
