Protecting Data Using the Secure User Mode
During normal operation, the R&S
ESW uses a solid-state drive to store its oper-
ating system, instrument firmware, instrument self-alignment data, and any user
data created during operation. If necessary, the solid-state drive can be removed
from the R&S
ESW and locked in a secure place to protect any classified data it
may contain.
Redirecting storage to volatile memory
Alternatively, to avoid storing any sensitive data on the R&S
ESW permanently,
the
secure user mode
was introduced (option R&S
ESW-K33). In secure user
mode the instrument’s solid-state drive is write-protected so that no information
can be written to memory permanently. Data that the R&S
ESW normally stores
on the solid-state drive is redirected to volatile memory instead, which remains
available only until the instrument is switched off. This data includes:
●
Windows operating system files
●
Firmware shutdown files containing information on last instrument state
