 Understanding Confidentiality Agreements
Confidentiality agreements, sometimes called secrecy or nondisclosure agreements, are contracts entered into by two or more parties in which some or all of the parties agree that certain types of information that pass from one party to the other or that are created by one of the parties will remain confidential.
As one would imagine, the company or individual disclosing the confidential information (the "discloser") would like the definition to be as all-inclusive as possible; on the other hand, the company receiving the confidential information (the "recipient") would like to see as narrowly focused a definition as possible.
Obviously, it is to the recipient's advantage to make the confidentiality time period start with the beginning of the disclosure time period, whereas it is to the discloser's advantage to make the confidentiality period start with the date of disclosure of the confidential information.

Chaffing and Winnowing: Confidentiality without Encryption Ronald L. Rivest MIT Lab for Computer Science March 18, 1998 (rev. April 24, 1998) http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~rivest/chaffing.txt A major goal of security techniques is ``confidentiality''---ensuring that adversaries gain no intelligence from a transmitted message.
Novel techniques for confidentiality are interesting in part because of the current debate about cryptographic policy as to whether law enforcement should be given when authorized surreptitious access to the plaintext of encrypted messages.
Note that the problem of providing confidentiality by chaffing and winnowing is based on the difficulty (for the adversary) of distinguishing the chaff from the wheat.
