Definitions
Clearing
- Clearing is the process of eradicating the data on media before
reusing the media so that the data can no longer be retrieved using the
standard interfaces on the instrument. Clearing is typically used when the
instrument is to remain in an environment with an acceptable level of
protection.
Sanitization
- Sanitization is the process of removing or eradicating stored
data so that the data cannot be recovered using any known technology.
Instrument sanitization is typically required when an instrument is moved from
a secure to a non-secure environment such as when it is returned to the factory
for calibration. (The instrument is declassified) Keysight memory sanitization
procedures are designed for customers who need to meet the requirements
specified by the US Defense Security Service (DSS). These requirements are
outlined in the "Clearing and Sanitization Matrix" issued by the Cognizant
Security Agency (CSA) and referenced in National Industrial Security Program
Operating Manual (NISPOM) DoD 5220.22M ISL 01L-1 section 8-301.
Security erase
- Security erase is a term that is used to refer to either the
clearing or sanitization features of Keysight instruments.
Instrument declassification
- A term that refers to procedures that must be
undertaken before an instrument can be removed from a secure environment
such as is the case when the instrument is returned for calibration.
Declassification procedures will include memory sanitization and or memory
removal. Keysight declassification procedures are designed to meet the
requirements specified by the DSS NISPOM security document (DoD 5220.22M
chapter 8).
