1 Overview
Securing important information is crucial in many applications.
Generally, highly secured environments do not allow any test equipment to leave the
area unless it can be proven that no user information leaves with the test equipment,
e.g. to be calibrated.
"Regarding sanitization, the principal concern is ensuring that data is not unintentionally released" [1].
This document provides a statement regarding the volatility of the memory types used
and specifies the steps required to sanitize an instrument.
The procedures in this document follow "NIST Special Publication 800-88: Guidelines
for Media Sanitization" [1].
In addition, recommendations are provided to safeguard information on the R&S ESW.

Terms defined in Guidelines for Media Sanitization
NIST Special Publication 800-88 [1]
●
Sanitization
"Media sanitization refers to a process that renders access to target data on the
media infeasible for a given level of effort."
●
Clear
"Clear applies logical techniques to sanitize data in all user-addressable storage
locations for protection against simple non-invasive data recovery techniques; typically applied through the standard Read and Write commands to the storage
device, such as by rewriting with a new value or using a menu option to reset the
device to the factory state (where rewriting is not supported)."
●
Purge
"Purge applies physical or logical techniques that render Target Data recovery
infeasible using state of the art laboratory techniques."
●
Destroy
