Obfuscation: The practice of making something difficult to understand or interpret intentionally designed to conceal or hide information. In the context of data security, obfuscation is often used to protect sensitive data, such as code, by transforming it into an equivalent form that is harder to understand, thereby limiting potential exposure to unauthorized parties.
