The Defence Indefinite Timeloop Option (or DITO) was a part of the safety systems of the Doctor's TARDIS from an alternate universe. It could be activated automatically by the TARDIS if it detected a threat, and caused the ship to project itself forwards a millisecond in time and remain there, inaccessible to intruders.

It was engaged when the Doctor landed in Oxford and the TARDIS detected the presence of the Garvond. The DITO could be deactivated using Benny's homing beacon. (PROSE: The Dimension Riders) The Doctor had not activated the option in the Land of Fiction, which alerted Ace that the TARDIS was missing. (PROSE: Conundrum)

The Doctor also manually activated a similar TARDIS capability, trying to stop the Saxon Master from discovering it. (TV: The End of Time)
