Abstract: Described in this disclosure is an input transformative device having an input side and an output side. The input transformative device may be configured to transfer a touch input at an input location on the input side to one or more output locations on the output side. The output side of the input transformative device may be positioned proximate to a touch sensor of a user device. The touch sensor may then detect the touch input of the user as occurring at the one or more output locations, rather than the input location. Interconnection between the input side and the output side may be predetermined and used to secure user input to the touch sensor. The interconnection pattern of inputs to outputs of the input transformative device may be fixed or reconfigurable. In some implementations, input using the input transformative device may be used to authenticate the user.
