1. A computer implemented method for obfuscating entry of information, the method comprising:

  • communicating to a provider of an input a set of additional aspects to be applied to a part of the input, wherein the set of additional aspects is distinct from a second set of additional aspects to be applied to another input;

    receiving, from the provider, an obfuscated input corresponding to the part of the input, wherein a subset of the set of additional aspects is present in the obfuscated input;

    recovering the part of the input from the obfuscated input by removing, using a processor and a memory, the subset of the set of additional aspects from the obfuscated input, forming a recovered part;

    generating an entry field input corresponding to the input using the recovered part; and

    sending the entry field input to an application executing in a data processing system.
