Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for configurable and non-invasive protection of private information in a user input to a software application that handles real-time information. A method includes detecting, by a filter in real-time, private information in the user input. The method further includes forming, by the filter, a filtered user input from the user input, by maintaining non-private information from the user input in the filtered user input, extracting and encrypting the private information in the user input and attaching the encrypted private information to the filtered user input, and replacing the private information in the user input with unique identifiers in the filtered user input. The unique identifiers are configured to be exploitable by the software application to achieve an intended function of the software application for the user. The method also includes transmitting, by a communications redirector, the filtered user input over a communication channel.
