Patent ID: 8069485

Claim:
A computer-implemented method to process on a device, comprising: cloning, on the device, an identity associated with a principal to form a cloned identity, the identity of the principal representing a true persona of the principal and the cloned identity a separate identity that is used to act as the principal over a network; assigning, by the device, areas of interest to the cloned identity; automatically processing, by the device, actions associated with the areas of interest for the cloned identity over the network, the cloned identity authenticated to services over the network as being the principal, the areas of interests are intentionally defined to be divergent to true interests of the principal, the true interests for the principal are automatically derived by analyzing an Internet browser history, browser cache, and cookies for the principal and the divergent interests are resolved accounting for the automatically derived true interests, network eavesdroppers performing dataveillance receive polluted information based on the divergent areas of interests assigned to the clone, and assigning some information to the cloned identity that corresponds to life statistics of the principal; refraining, by the device, from performing any of the actions when the principal is detected as being logged onto the network; and stopping, by the device, any processing of the actions when it is unlikely that the principal is logged into the network.
