This is come up before. Please try the glossaries.
A sas is a system for protecting entrances to buildings: it consists of a first door, then a small enclosed area, then another door. You can only enter in stages: first you have to open the first door. Only when you are in the enclosed are and the first door is properly shut and locked behind you can you open the second door and gain access to the building.
I cannot remember the right term in English off hand. It may come to me later but I'm sure we've had this discussion before...
