Is there a more colloquial term for a “confidant“, or someone who has been entrusted with sensitive information to be disclosed only under certain conditions?
This is related to my previous question on trusted proxies.
Answer
In Harry Potter, they call that person a “Secret Keeper”, although that also involves magic and whatnot.
In computer terms, a group of people who are entrusted with secret information (such as SSH keys) are indicated to be a part of (or within) a circle of trust.
In High School, girls call those people BFFs.
