Gadget Steals Encryption Keys

Here’s how it works: the PITA consists of a bunch of off-the-shelf parts and it runs on four AA batteries. Using an antenna that can read electromagnetic waves emitted by computer processors from up to 19 inches away, the device can swipe RSA and ElGamal data and decrypt it. Stolen data is then stored locally on the device’s microSD card, or the PITA can transmit data over Wi-Fi to the attacker’s computer.

The cost of the radio device has been estimated at $300 / €270 and it can be built with readily available components: a Rikomagic controller, a piece of wire acting as an antenna and a FUNcube software defined radio (SDR).
