Possession
(redirected from ownership)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Wikipedia 0.45 sec.

The ownership or control of information, as distinct from confidentiality. For example, if confidential information such as a user ID-password combination is in a sealed container and the container is stolen, the owner justifiably feels that there has been a breach of security even if the container remains closed (this is a breach of possession or control over the information). Possession is one of the six fundamental components of information security (see Parkerian Hexad).
