Module PrivateData

Provides classes and predicates for identifying private data and methods for security.

‘Private’ data in general is anything that would compromise user privacy if exposed. This library tries to guess where private data may either be stored in a variable or produced by a method.

This library is not concerned with credentials. See SensitiveActions for expressions related to credentials.
