3 Security Terms and Definitions
Term Definition
Clearing As defined in Section 8-301a of DoD 5220.22-M, “National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)” ,
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.
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 include
memory sanitization or memory removal, or both. Keysight declassification procedures are designed to meet the
requirements specified in
DoD 5220.22-M, “National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)” , Chapter 8.
Sanitization As defined in Section 8-301b of DoD 5220.22-M, “National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)” ,
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.
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 specified in the “Clearing and Sanitization Matrix” in
Section 5.2.5.5.5 of the
ISFO Process Manual for the Certification and Accreditation of Classified Systems under the
NISPOM .
Secure Erase Secure Erase is a term that is used to refer to either the clearing or sanitization features of Keysight instruments.
