Different boxes for different folks.
Tempest is about making sure that insufficient radiation exists to be able to recover a useful signal. Normal PC screening is to prevent sufficient noise from escaping to cause problems to others. If you can recover useful information above the background noise, the machine is definitely compromising any nearby receivers. Tempest isn't about stopping people accessing your computer, although normal EMC screening is, in part, about stopping local radio transmitters upsetting the machine. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
