A standard set of access levels have been programmed into the starboard and engineering computer cores of all ships in order to stop any undesired access to confidential data. The access levels are as follows: Level 5 Unlimited access to all classified, secret, top-secret, ultra-secret Starfleet or Federation documents and records. Level 4 Limited access to all classified, secret, top-secret Starfleet or Federation documents and records. Access is limited on a 'need to know' basis.

Condition Green Covert Starfleet code used to secretly indicate on a clear channel that the speaker is being held captive. Fractal Encryption Very sophisticated, virtually unbreakable computer encryption technique. Phase 1 Search Standard Starfleet procedure for a painstaking search aboard a ship for an individual presumed injured and unable to respond. Prefix Code In a Federation starship's computer systems, the prefix code was a security passcode appended to computer commands to prevent unauthorized activation or control of key systems.
