Zeroizing or Resetting the HSM to Factory Conditions
During the lifetime of a Luna HSM, you might have cause to take the HSM out of service, and wish to perform actions to ensure that no trace of your sensitive material remains. Those events might include:
>Placing the unit into storage, perhaps as a spare
>Shipping to another location or business unit in your organization
>Shipping the unit back to Thales for repair/re-manufacture
>Removing the HSM permanently from operational use, for disposal at end-of-life
This chapter describes the available options in the following sections:

>Comparison of Destruction/Denial Actions
