Product Name: Network Analyzer
Model Number(s): E5061B/E5063A
Terms and Definitions
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. 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)
