| (I) Refers to information (stored or conveyed, in any form) that
is formally required by a security policy to be given data
confidentiality service and to be marked with a security label
(which in some cases might be implicit) to indicate its protected
status. (See: unclassified.)
(C) The term is mainly used in government, especially in the
military, although the concept underlying the term also applies
outside government. In the U.S. Department of Defense, for
example, it means information that has been determined pursuant to
Executive Order 12958 ("Classified National Security Information",
20 April 1995) or any predecessor order to require protection
against unauthorized disclosure and is marked to indicate its
classified status when in documentary form.
