Abstract
Systems and techniques provide activity monitoring and selective obfuscation of various fields or categories of information included in traffic between servers providing services and end-user devices accessing such services. The selective obfuscation may account for a user's role and one or more levels of authorization or permission assigned to such a role. More generally, the disclosed techniques provide the ability to selectively restrict end-user access to data included in server responses, such that desired portions of the data are not accessible while other portions of the data are still accessible. A traffic routing tool at a proxy server may intercept traffic to a given service and may determine whether or not the traffic should be routed to an obfuscation engine configured to selectively obfuscate traffic.
