Systems and methods for obfuscating user navigation and selections directed by free-form input

A system adapted to obfuscate a user target actuation, the system comprising:

• means for concurrently displaying a first plurality of targets including a first target, a second target, a third target, and a fourth target;
• means for moving a first visual indication of a current user target to the first target at a first time to reflect a change of the current user target to the first target;
• means for moving the first visual indication to the second target at a second time after the first time to reflect a change of the current user target to the second target;
• means for actuating the current user target at a third time after the second time in response to a first user input for actuation of the current user target;
• means for moving a second visual indication of a first distractor target to the third target at a fourth time after the first time at which the first visual indication moves to the first target;
• and
• means for moving the second visual indication to the fourth target at a fifth time after the fourth time and before the third time at which the current user target was actuated, wherein the fourth time is different from the first time at which the first visual indication moves to the first target, the fifth time is different from the second time at which the first visual indication moves to the second target, or the fourth time is different from the first time and the fifth time is different from the second time.
