  "definition": "1. Preserving authorized restrictions on information access and disclosure, including means for protecting personal privacy and proprietary information.\n\n2. Prevention of compromise of data to unauthorized entities through techniques such as encryption.\n\n3. “Preserving authorized restrictions on information access and disclosure, including means for protecting personal privacy and proprietary information.”\n\n4. The term 'confidentiality' means preserving authorized restrictions on access and disclosure, including means for protecting personal privacy and proprietary information.\n\n5. The ability to protect data so that unauthorized parties cannot view the data.\n\n6. The property that sensitive information is not disclosed to unauthorized entities.\n\n7. The property that sensitive information is not disclosed to unauthorized entities (i.e., the secrecy of key information is maintained).\n\n8. The property that sensitive information is not disclosed to unauthorized entities (e.g., the secrecy of the key information is maintained).\n\n9. Data confidentiality is a property of data, usually resulting from legislative measures, which prevents it from unauthorized disclosure.\n\n10. The property that data or information is not made available or disclosed to unauthorized persons or processes.\n\n11. The state that exists when information is held in confidence and protected from unauthorized disclosure.\n\n12. Assurance that information is not disclosed to unauthorized persons, processes, or devices. Confidentiality covers data in storage, during processing, and in transit.\n\n13. measures the attacker’s ability to obtain unauthorized access to information from an application or system.\n\n14.
