P-Code
For P-Code we have a term and definition in GPS.
P-code (GPS) 
The Precise or Protected code. A very long sequence of PRN binary biphase modulations on the GPS L1 and L2 carrier at a chip rate of 10.23MHz, which repeats about every 267 days. Each one week segment of this code is unique to a GPS satellite and is reset each week. Under the policy of "Anti-Spoofing" the US Dept. of Defense has encrypted the P-Code (replacing it with a so-called Y-Code). Only US military and other authorised users are able to overcome AS using special receivers.
