"The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information."

"The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information." [1] It does not, however, implicitly provide security.
If I send and receive e-mails with a reporter off the record, we are communicating privately. But the communication may not be strictly confidential, nor secure, unless I take additional steps to ensure it.
If I keep files in my home directory, on my own hard disk, with permissions so only my user can access the files, then my files are private. They are not, however, implicitly secure. Another example: an SSH private key. Without a password on the key, the key is private, but not secure.
