Back in the 70s when I got started in IT, IBM made a special computer with a special coating to help reduce the ability of an outsider from reading the frequency of stuff emanating from a computer. That really increased the price of the computer. IBM has also, for a long time, been able to show you can capture keystrokes from keyboards, IIRC, for around 15 meters.

They can reportedly do this from up to 6 meters away. In this video, using two Ubuntu laptops, they demonstrate that keystrokes are easily interpreted with the software they have developed. In their white paper they talk about the need for more research in this area so that hardware and software manufacturers will be able to develop more secure devices. For now, Farraday cages don't seem as crazy as they used to, or do they?
