Security clearance or security verification is a level of authority given to an officer based on rank, status and position. Computers then identify the individuals by the entry of their vocal or numerical authorization code. Alternatively, specially programmed isolinear rods entered into the computer can also allow various levels of security clearance. (DS9: "Babel", "The Passenger", "Vortex")

When Lieutenant Malcolm Reed stated to the Andorian Lieutenant Talas that he "wouldn't trust his own mother" with the Enterprise NX-01's weapons frequencies, Talas found it an odd expression, as her own mother's security clearance was higher than hers. (ENT: "Proving Ground")
