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. (The instrument is declassified) 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 –Refers 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)

Memory Clearing, Sanitization and/or Removal Procedures
This section explains how to clear, sanitize, and remove memory from you instrument for all memory that
can be written to during normal operation and for which the clearing and sanitization procedure is more
than trivial such as rebooting your instrument.

Remarks
Confirmation or setting the BIOS Options: BIOS is the PC's built-in program describing the standard procedure of basic
inputs and outputs for the system hardware. BIOS involves the system BIOS, start-up program and BIOS setup utility.
The E5052B starts up first with the BIOS when the power is turned on. See the trouble shooting section in the service
manual for the procedure to confirm or set the BIOS options, known as the BIOS setup utility.

Remarks:
Hard Disk Removal: Because it is virtually impossible to completely and selectively erase all user data on a hard drive
without also destroying the operating system, the best method for maintaining security when the E5052B must be
removed from a secure area is to replace the hard drive with a "non-secure" hard drive, i.e. a drive that has never had
any sensitive data placed on it.
E5052B standard set is delivered with a removable hard disk unit.

User and Remote Interface Security Measures
Screen and Annotation Blanking
You can prevent frequency information from appearing on the E5052B screen and printouts.
To set security levels from the E5052B menu, go to Display, then Security Level.
When the security level is set to Frequency Blank or All Numeric Blank, the following information is blanked.
Display annotation
All marker readouts
All tables
All soft key menus
All printouts
Programming via GPIB or VBA
The frequency blank operation is supported on firmware revision A.02.00 or higher.

USB Mass Storage Device Security
The following procedure shows how to disable a USB Mass Storage Device.
1. [Save/Recall] > Explorer….
2. Double-click “DisableUsbStorage.exe” from D”\Agilent\Service.
3. Click OK in the SUCCEEDED message window that appears. If any USB mass storage device is
connected to the E5052B under this condition, the Hardware Wizard will start, but the USB
mass storage device will not work.
The following procedure shows how to enable a USB Mass Storage Device.
1. [Save/Recall] > Explorer….
2. Double-click “EnableUsbStorage.exe” from D”\Agilent\Service.
3. Click OK in the SUCCEEDED message window that appears.
Note: If the program fails to run, it is possible that you have not logged in as a user in the Administrators
Group. When you want to execute any of the above programs, make sure to log in as a user in the
Administrators Group.
Note: For users who have E5052B with a serial prefix of MY421, these units do not contain the necessary
programs in their HDD at shipment. Visit the following URL to obtain the program.

Remote Access Interfaces
The user is responsible for providing security for the I/O ports for remote access by controlling
physical access to the I/O ports. The I/O ports must be controlled because they provide access to
all user settings, user states and the display image.
The I/O ports include RS-232, GPIB and LAN.
The LAN port provides the following services, which can be selectively disabled:
http
ftp
sockets
telnet
There is also a ‘ping’ service, which presently cannot be selectively disabled. The concern here
might be that it is possible to discover IP addresses of connected instruments in order to query their
setups over the net or break into the code.
Procedure for Declassifying a Faulty Instrument
As shipped from the factory, all the E5052Bs have the following instrument-specific calibration files stored
on the hard disk drive. When replacing a hard disk drive, in order to achieve specified performance, these
files must be copied to the new hard drive. These files are located in the directory, D:\syscal.
Perform the procedure described on the E5052B User’s Guide to declassifying an E5052B if it needs to be
removed from a secure area and be returned to a secure area.
The procedure can be found on Information on Maintenance on the E5052B User’s Guide.
