* '''SAP (Special Access Program)''': A category of classified program that imposes extra security protocols on access and dissemination beyond regular classification.

* '''USAP (Unacknowledged Special Access Program)''': A subset of SAPs whose existence is not acknowledged publicly or even within broader classified systems. Access is restricted to a small set of individuals with explicit authorization.

* '''[[Cobalt and Baby Blue-on-Blue|Baby-on-Cobalt Blue-on-Blue]]''': Refers to incidents where civilians, researchers, government or military personnel without clearance (e.g., military pilots, intelligence officers), journalists, or private actors lacking institutional affiliation or access to classified channels  inadvertently encounter a USAP and are subsequently discredited or attacked reputationally. "Blue-on-blue" is derived from military terminology for fratricide or friendly fire.
