Is there a succinct term or phrase that would describes someone's ability to "keep cards close to their chest", as in, able to subtlety keep things secret.
For context, I'm working on a game where part of it is being able to determine your enemies' strengths and weaknesses (via "perception") and need a term for the attribute which counters perception to keep your strengths and weaknesses concealed.
