A covert operation is one whose existence is known, but the identity of the sponsor remains unknown. There may be strong suspicion of the sponsor, but plausible deniability can be kept if the sponsor cannot be proven to be behind the operation.

In contrast, the very fact of a clandestine operation is kept secret.
