Information theory

Information flow (information theory)

Information flow in an information theoretical context is the transfer of information from a variable to a variable in a given process. Not all flows may be desirable; for example, a system should not leak any confidential information (partially or not) to public observers--as it is a violation of privacy on an individual level, or might cause major loss on a corporate level.
