Confidentiality:
In the field of Cyber Security Confidentiality is on of the significant aspect of data
security which controls information access. The necessity of keeping the information with
high security occurred due to several fields which include military operations, government
activity information and other confidential detail of civilian. Initially in the cyber security
field the first attempt was to secure the information of military. The fundamental principle of
this aspect is to control the access of information which supports confidentiality by the
approach of Key Cryptography. However, utilization of Cryptography has several other
issues such as the misleading of the decode key can cause a huge blunder. Thus, the
mechanism of confidentiality has been supported by the approach of Digital Certificate,
Biometric Verification and Digital token. Along with the above aspects there is a
signification responsibility of users which demands to avoid sensitive data in less protected
storage systems (Abomhara, 2015).
