Ftb Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I wonder if a sensitive spectrum analyzer could pick up something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I'm calling bullshit. All that thing can potentially measure is activity. In other words, you need to physically attach to it as it's decrypting something and presumably nog be doing anything else. Also, supposedly the attack can be thwarted in code since GnuPG has a patch for this which, given the description, is likely to add a few pauses in the process to level the activity again. If it works (if!) it's a neat trick but nothing useful in the real world. Edited August 27, 2014 by Cooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yea, I'm going to put this on the same shelf as enhancing a photo of someone's eye and revealing the person who took the photo. It almost sounds like it could be done, but really can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
