  Article 64-Secrecy  
64.1 Secrecy  
  Secrecy is the deliberate hiding and restriction of information to only a few authorized persons.  
  In the planning and execution of war, secrecy is paramount.
 
64.2 The paradox of overt secrecy and subversive secrecy  
  Generally, it is believed that the greater security and methods are placed around the restrictions of secret information, the more secure that information becomes- this is overt secrecy.  
  Another technique is the natural restriction of communication of information, of hiding the information in plain site, of making no major fuss concerning certain highly secret information, thereby not raising suspicions of its importance- this is subversive secrecy.  
  The paradox of overt secrecy is that in times of war it becomes a key target of the enemy and therefore a target of war with greater risk of exposure. In contrast, subversive secrecy tends to shield important secrets by removing the traditional "signs" of secrecy and so may not even be considered by the enemy.  
  Therefore, when wishing to hide real secrets, it is preferable to use subversive methods, while hiding disinformation and lesser secrets in overt secrecy.  
64.3 The more overt your protection of secrets, the more valuable it appears to the enemy  
  It is a principle of warfare that the more overt you seek to protect your secrets, the more valuable they appear to the enemy.  
  This wisdom can be used one of two ways: (1) to ensure the highest possible protective methods and thereby increase the value of the secrets even more, and/or (2) use this high valuation as a way of planting deliberate disinformation.  
  A wise enemy is rarely fooled. Therefore information stolen by spies which is considered most secret is the most prized of all information. Therefore is is potentially the most valuable method of disinformation of all.
