Section 3: sanitization methods (clear, purge, destroy) and cryptographic erase – NIST SP 800-88 Rev 2

NIST SP 800-88 Rev 2 3.2.5: Traceability of CE: document make and model, key generation, media encryption, key wrapping, encrypted and unencrypted areas, key life cycle handling, key sanitization technique, escrow or injection, error handling and interface commands, and how external key copies were dealt with

What does 3.2.5 require?

When CE is the purge technique, the sanitization record is augmented with: the make, model, version or ISM type and the storage technology, noting that data may sit in several components such as cache and platters; whether a deterministic random bit generator (for example from SP 800-90A) was used for key generation and how it was validated; the media encryption algorithm, key strength, mode and validations; which key (data-encryption, key-wrapping or key-derivation) is sanitized and, where a key-encryption key is involved, the wrapping and derivation algorithms, strengths and modes; which ISM areas are encrypted and how any unencrypted areas are sanitized; the treatment of the keys under sanitization during any wrapping, unwrapping or rewrapping that is not part of the CE itself; the ISM-dependent key sanitization technique; support in the ISM for escrow or injection of keys at or beneath the CE level and whether the key was ever escrowed or injected; how the ISM handles error conditions that stop CE completing and whether it reports success or failure; and the host interface commands that provide the features, including whether all data-encryption keys are changed. Where target keys live in an external key management system, the record also shows how key sanitization in that system and any escrowed, backed-up or elsewhere-stored copies were addressed. CE works regardless of documentation, but organisational acceptance of CE depends on it.
