As part of exam revision I am studying past exam papers - One question that keeps popping up is related to 'Inferential Data' or 'Inference'
A typical example might be...
"Discuss the term inference and describe what steps a secure programmer might take to prevent it occurring (use code snippets to aid your answer)."
I know inferential data can be defined as data that is derived from a record set that a user shouldn't have access too, but can anyone help with additional information that would maybe assist me in exploring this question further.
Thanks.
