Patent ID: 8707333

Claim:
A method of processing a message, comprising: identifying a message to be transformed; using a processor to transform the message at least in part by using an obfuscation argument type, wherein: the obfuscation argument type is associated with a network entity identifier argument; the network entity identifier argument is associated with identifying an entity in a network and is used to dynamically determine message data at runtime; and transforming includes: receiving identification of one or more argument types associated with message data to be obfuscated, wherein the identified argument types include the obfuscation argument type; and in response to receiving the obfuscation argument type as one of the argument types associated with message data to be obfuscated, transforming the message into a partially obfuscated message where the network entity identifier argument is replaced with an obfuscated network entity identifier from which the network entity identifier argument being replaced cannot be determined; and displaying the partially obfuscated message, wherein the obfuscated network entity identifier is displayed in place of the network entity identifier argument.
