The Covenant occasionally place advanced encryption on high-importance locked doors within their warships, such as the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. During the [[Battle for the Truth and Reconciliation|UNSC raid on the battlecruiser]], the Covenant locked the UNSC assault squad in the hangar bays with 128,000-bit modulating encryption{{Ref/Level|CE|The Truth and Reconciliation}} until [[Cortana]] was able to hack the doors to open and let the UNSC forces venture further into the ship.
