Abstract
Securing information within a user interface can include mapping, using a processor, an electronic mail address to an avatar, wherein the mapped electronic mail address and the avatar are stored within a data storage device, and generating, using the processor, a user interface including a message correlated with the electronic mail address. The user interface displays the avatar of the electronic mail address in place of at least one of a name for the electronic mail address or the electronic mail address.
