Hmm,
I guess I’m exposing my age, but this reminds me of some of the systems I used
to work on. They were in magnetically shielded rooms to prevent enemy spy
satellites from reading the data from the core memory.

Subject: [NTSysADM] An Airgap Won’t Secure Your Computer Anymore
Interesting to say the least…

Hacked has a piece about Georgia Institute of Technology researchers keylogging
from a distance using the electromagnetic radiation of CPUs. 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?
