Best answer

(a) Secrecy: Secrecy is the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups, perhaps while sharing it with other individuals. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret. Secrecy is often controversial, depending on the content of the secret, the group or people keeping the secret. 

(b) Authentication: It is a process in which the credentials provided are compared to those on file in a database of authorized users’ information on a local operating system or within an authentication server. If the credentials match, the process is completed and the user is granted authorization for access.

(c) Integrity: In computing terms,‘integrity’ is used in a sentence such as,“we have a system in place to ensure data integrity”. In this context, it means that the data is not corrupt.

So, the sentence above means that something has been put in place to prevent data corruption.
