There are two ASL signs for "Silent" or "Silence." The sign for "secret" may also be used in certain scenarios, depending on the context. One of these signs, you may already be familiar with... as it has become a natural cultural sign as well. For this you take your fore-finger and put it in-front of your closed lips. (Hearing people often say "Shh" with this sign, but it is unneccessary to vocalize the "sh" expression in ASL (though a proper replacement would be the "pah" or "chah" expression.)
The second sign for Silent or Silence is to take both "B" hands and cross them in an "X" shape in front of your closed mouth (the dominent hand behind the non-dominant hand) and then swing them outward (left and right) and downward in opposite directions swiftly and abruptly. This sign also means BE QUIET, BE STILL, and CALM DOWN.
The Sign for "secret" is to take the "A" or "S" handshape, and place it on your closed lips. (For the "A" handshape, the thumb rests against your lips.) Using the "S" handshape would qualify it an initilized sign... however don't confuse this with the "drink" sign, which uses a similar sign, with a different movement in the same location.
