Is it true that intelligence activities, sources or methods, or cryptology are considered SCI?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only some of these
• D. None of these

Answer: (A)

Intelligence activities, sources, or methods, and cryptology are protected under SCI because disclosure could reveal how we collect information, who provides it, or how we protect communications. These areas are highly sensitive; exposing them could compromise ongoing operations, sources’ safety, or cryptographic protections. Because of that, information in these categories is designated as SCI and subject to special handling, access controls, and need-to-know restrictions. So the statement is true.
