4.6.1.11 Sanitizing (Purging) Based on USA Army Regulation 380-19
The USA Army Regulation 380-19, Information Systems Security (ISS), effective 27 March,
1998, provides the security requirements for systems processing Special Access Program (SAP)
information and describes the ISS policy as it applies to security in hardware, software
procedures, telecommunication, personal use, physical environment, networks and firmware.
Section VII, Automated Information System Media, Section 2-20, describes cleaning, purging,
declassifying and destroying media. Appendix F-2 describes the following for sanitizing flash
EPROM (FEPROM):
“Overwrite all location with a random character, a specific character, then its complement”
Then
“Check with the DAA (Designated Approval Authority)/SCO (Service Certifying
Organization) to see if additional procedures are required”.
The SSD complies with the above requirement, as described in Table 10.
4.6.1.12 Sanitizing (Purging) Based on USA Navy NAVSO P-5239-26
The Navy Staff Office Publication (NAVSO) 5239, “Information Systems Security (INFOSEC)
Program Guidelines” is issued by the Naval Information Systems Management Center and
provides policy, guidelines, and procedures for clearing and purging computer system memory
and other storage media for release outside of and for reuse within controlled environments. It
pertains to both classified and sensitive unclassified information. Implements DOD 5200.28-M
and CSC-STD-005-85. Chapter 3 describes the cleaning and purging of data storage media, and
section 3.5 describes the purging of EEPROM and EAROM. To purge EEPROM:
”Overwrite all location with any pattern,” then erase.
The SSD complies with the above requirement, as described in Table 10.
4.6.1.13 Declassification Based on IRIG-106 (NTISSP-9)
The Telemetry Group (TG) of the Range Commanders Council (RCC) has prepared documents
to foster the compatibility of telemetry transmitting, receiving, and signal processing equipment
at the member ranges under the cognizance of the RCC. IRIG (Inter-Range Instrumentation
Group) 106 is a set of telemetry standards which provide the necessary criteria on which to base
equipment design and modification.
The National Telecommunication & Information Security Systems (NTISSP-9) Chapter 10
describes the requirements for SOLID STATE RECORDER STANDARD. Section 10.8
(declassification) addresses declassification for various Solid-State Disks as follows:
First Erase – Every memory block on the board is erased
First write 0x55 – Every memory chip location is recorded with a pattern 0x55
Second Erase – Every memory block on the board is erased
Second write 0xAA – Every memory chip location is recorded with a pattern 0xAA
Third Erase – Every memory block on the board is erased
SanDisk SSD Sanitize feature complies with the requirements as described in Table 10.
