Abstract
A method and system is provided for securing user entry data against keyboard login attempts. The method/system masks user input data, either insulating the data from vulnerable parts of the operating system or application, or contaminating user data that is supplied to those vulnerable parts of the operating system or application. The method/system securely stores data, either intercepted prior to reaching the vulnerable parts of the operating system or extracted from the contaminated data, and securely provides the data directly to a verified application.
