Secure display element

A method of securely displaying information on a computing device, the method comprising:

• detecting, in the computing device, an instruction to display, on a display coupled to the computing device, an item of information to be secured;
• altering, by the computing device, the item of information so as to render at least one segment of the item of information with a bogus data at a select number of instances in time, wherein which segment of the item of information is rendered with the bogus data varies with time;
• converting, by the computing device, results from said altering into pixel information, wherein said converting is repeatedly performed over a duration of said altering;
• and
• storing the pixel information into a frame buffer of the computing device for display, the pixel information representing a plurality of images,
• wherein the bogus data includes fake data.

A computing device comprising:

• a display;
• an application processor configured to receive an item of information and an instruction to display, on the display, the item of information in a predetermined display area;
• a graphics processor configured to alter the predetermined display area so as to render at least one segment of the item of information with a bogus data at a select number of instances in time, wherein which segment of the item of information is rendered with the bogus data varies with time;
• a rasterizer coupled to the graphics processor and configured to convert results from the graphics processor into pixel information, wherein the converting is repeatedly performed over a duration of the graphics processor altering the predetermined display area;
• and
• a frame buffer configured to store the pixel information for display, the pixel information representing a plurality of images,
• wherein the bogus data includes fake data.
