Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing information security in an unobtrusive manner are presented herein. An authentication component can enable a primary user of a multi-user communications device, based on an authentication process initiated by the primary user, to classify information stored in the multi-user communications device as invisible to other users of the device. The information classified as invisible to the other users can include phone number(s), phone message(s), email address(es), email(s), electronic message(s), call history, email history, and/or personal data. In addition, an information access component can enable the primary user to access the information classified as invisible to the other users of the multi-user communications device upon authentication of the primary user's identity. An operational component can enable other users of the multi-user communications device to operate the device without receiving an indication that information stored in the device was classified as invisible to the other users.
