Abstract:
A method, system and device for allowing the secure collection of sensitive information is provided. The device includes a display, and a user interface capable of receiving at least one user-generated interrupt in response to a stimulus generated in response to content received by the device, wherein the action taken upon receiving the user-generated interrupt depends on a classification of the content, the classification identifying the content as trusted or not trusted. The method includes detecting a request for sensitive information in content, determining if an interrupt is generated, determining if the content is trusted, allowing the collection of the sensitive information if the interrupt is generated and the content is trusted, and performing an alternative action if the interrupt is generated and the content is not trusted. The method may include instructions stored on a computer readable medium.
