==Clearance Levels==
There are two types of clearance level - an older colour-code system and a newer phrase system.{{Fn|2b}} The phrase system acts as a method of encryption,{{Fn|5}} and both are usually applied to clearance-restricted messages.{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|66a}}{{Fn|6b}}
===Colour-code System===
===Phrase System===
The phrase system is a method of encryption,{{Fn|5}} which is applied to messages alongside a colour level.{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|6a}}{{Fn|6b}}
Encryptions, such as Cryptox, have been known to have versions, e.g. Cryptox v2.6.{{Fn|5}}
* '''Panther'''{{Fn|2b}}
* '''Esculis'''{{Fn|2b}}
* '''Cryptox'''{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|66b}}
** '''Cryptox v2.6'''{{Fn|5}}
* The same message in [[Malleus (Novel)]] has both an obsidian clearance and a "Cryptox v2.6" encryption. As this matches the phrase "Cryptox" mentioned by Dercius in [[First and Only (Novel)]], it is likely that the colour system is for rank-based clearance, and the phrase system is for encryption method.
* In [[The Vincula Insurgency (Novel)]], documents are found, one with "obsidian (esculis)" level and one with "magenta (cryptox)". However, this does not mean that obsidian and esculis, or magenta and cryptox are the same thing - in [[Malleus (Novel)]], Eisenhorn recieves a message that is obsidian and cryptox v2.6.
