CONFIDENTIALITY=
Confidentiality prevents sensitive information from reaching the wrong people, while making sure that the right people can in fact get it. A good example is an account number or routing number when banking online. Data encryption is a common method of ensuring confidentiality. User IDs and passwords constitute a standard procedure; two-factor authentication is becoming the norm and biometric verification is an option as well. In addition, users can take precautions to minimize the number of places where the information appears, and the number of times it is actually transmitted to complete a required transaction.
When we talk about confidentiality of information, we are talking about protecting the information from disclosure to unauthorized parties. Information has value, especially in today’s world. Bank account statements , personal information, credit card numbers, trade secrets, government documents. Everyone has information they wish to keep a secret. Protecting such information is a very major part of information security.
