Separating Classified and Unclassified Information
The RED/BLACK concept requires electrical and electronic circuits, components, and systems which handle encrypted ciphertext information (BLACK) be separated from those which handle unencrypted classified plaintext information (RED). The red/black concept can operate on the level of circuits, components, equipment, systems, or the physical areas in which they are contained. See Tempest (codename).

Famous quotes containing the words separating, classified and/or information:
“There are many things children accept as “grown-up things” over when they have no control and for which they have no responsibility—for instance, weddings, having babies, buying houses, and driving cars. Parents who are separating really need to help their children put divorce on that grown-up list, so that children do not see themselves as the cause of their parents’ decision to live apart.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
