Those of us who have TEMPEST experience knows this is nothing new. I saw a demonstration back in the 80’s where display images were reproduced from radiated emissions given off by a monitor 10 meters away. This really freaked out the US government and prompted a lot of TEMPEST PC and peripheral contracts. I’m not sure if TEMPEST products are still being produced today or not.
With all the Identity Theft fears going on these days I wonder if there would be a market for PCs with very low emissions. Hmmmmmm. Maybe someone should start an accreditation program for PC products with ultra low emissions for personal security. Remember, you heard it here first.

Most keyboard data goes over a USB or wireless connection. There is a link to an October 2008 article that includes snooping on USB keyboards by looking at the radiated emissions. I do like the description as a “Hotel attack” if only because I have a hard time imagining many people bringing a desktop computer and keyboard with them on a hotel visit.
