p.s.: = Attached is the cipher key (the whole key, not just the CIK) leakage of a S= TU-III, at a distance of 10 meters due to a Blackberry being present close = to the STU. The trace on the top is the gating signal (derived from the tes= t equipment), and trace trace on the top is the actual leakage of the key t= hat was picked up over the air riding on a Blackberry carrier signals. This= is why TEMPEST is so important, and why you need to keep a cell phone a si= gnificant distance from encryption equipment. In this case the Blackberry w= as 30 cm away from the STU-III for the test, but realistically you can do t= his with a BB that is 3 meters away. Remember, a spy is only looking for bi= ts and pieces of data from which they can derive an idea of the big picture= . When they get a high amount of data they appreciate it, but they are also= happy with fragments. When you have a Blackberry or other digital cell pho= ne within several meters of a STU or STE you allow the spy to collect the f= ragments they are seeking, and often far more then fragments.
