Inference is a powerful act of the mind that combines known data using human judgement in such a way as to extend knowledge, i.e., creation of new information. People can use the information stored in a computer or the behavior of the computer to gain knowledge for which they have no authorization. This is considered a security or confidentiality breach and is the subject of the area of computer security known as inferential security. This paper provides an overview of inferential security breach and some of the known closed form methods for perpetrating this type of security breach. Some of the concerns for the user of individual computing environments (ICE's) are addressed.
