Abstract
A mechanism for protecting software and computing devices from unintentional pre-release disclosure (“leak”) is provided that includes applying a security enhancement to an object on the graphical user interface of the computing device such that the object can be used to visually determine the origin of the leak without obstructing the user's experience or being easily detected or defeated.
