Nature of Classified Information. Classified national security information (or classified information) is: "information that has been determined pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 12958, "Classified National Security Information," April 17, 1995 or any predecessor order to require protection against unauthorized disclosure and is marked to indicate its classified status when in documentary form."
Nature of Classified Information Information is classified under one of three designations 1. "Top Secret" 2. "Secret" 3. "Confidential" Depending on the level of sensitivity
Note: Security Classification can not be used to: “conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error….” ie. Prevent embarrassment to a person, organization or agency.

Original classification To be an Originator of classification you must: be the originator of the document, information,etc. have classification authority in writing information must require protection against unauthorized disclosure information must be directly related to national security interests
Derivative Classification. Derivative classification is just as its name implies--classification derived from another source.
Marking of Classified Information. At a minimum, classified documents must indicate (1) the highest level of classification (2) the Agency or office of origin (3) the identity of the Original Classification Authority or source document, as appropriate (4) a date or event for declassification
Protection of Classified Information As a custodian of classified information you have a personal moral legal responsibility WHEN TO PROTECT? at all times protect classified information
