Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and program products for selectively obscuring data being displayed is disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to determine a security classification for data being displayed on a display and selectively obscure the data being displayed on the display based on the determined security classification for the data. Methods and computer program products that perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor of an information handling device;
- and
- a memory configured to store code executable by the processor to:
- determine a security classification for data being displayed on a display device in communication with the processor,
- selectively obscure the data being displayed on the display device based on the determined security classification for the data, and
- freely display, on a sub-display device in communication with the processor, the data that is selectively obscured on the display device in response to the sub-display device including a smaller size than the display device.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a security classification for data being displayed on a display device in communication with the processor;
- selectively obscuring the data being displayed on the display device based on the determined security classification for the data;
- and
- freely displaying, on a sub-display device in communication with the processor, the data that is selectively obscured on the display device in response to the sub-display device including a size smaller than the display device.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
- determining a security classification for data being displayed on a display device, and
- selectively obscuring the data being displayed on the display device based on the determined security classification for the data;
- and
- freely displaying, on a sub-display device, the data that is selectively obscured on the display device in response to the sub-display device including a smaller size than the display device.
