Terms and Definitions
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 Appendix O
of the ODAA Process Guide for C&A of Classified Systems under NISPOM.
Secure Erase
Secure Erase is a term that is used to refer to either the clearing or sanitization
features of Keysight instruments.
