How your computer's secrets could be cracked by a smartphone just LISTENING to it as it runs its encryption software. Just listening to CPU vibrations can reveal its operations, researchers sayThese can be analysed to reveal details of encryption keysHack involves sending string of pre-determined emails to a computerAs they are decrypted, eavesdroppers can ascertain the key precisely By Damien Gayle Published: 21:57 GMT, 19 December 2013 | Updated: 21:57 GMT, 19 December 2013 The hum your made by your computer's microprocessor could be used by an eavesdropper to to crack your digital encryption keys, new research claims.

How your computer's secrets could be cracked by a smartphone just LISTENING to it as it runs its encryption software

Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel have shown that merely listening to the quiet vibrations made by a computer can reveal what operations it is running. Those sounds can be analysed so precisely, they claim, they can even reveal the details of encryption keys used for secure web browsing, credit card transactions and encrypted email. Simple as that: The set up used by the Tel Aviv team to extract the laptop's encryption keys merely by putting a smart phone close to it.

Although e-vehicles make up only a tiny fraction of the European car fleet at present, sales are expected to grow exponentially over the coming years, thanks, in no small measure, to advances in e-vehicle technology being made by EU-funded researchers. Fully electric vehicle technologies that optimise safety, energy consumption and kinetic energy recovery are also major contributors to on-going improvements in the performance of hybrid vehicles. Across the European Union transport accounts for more than 70 % of total oil consumption, the vast majority of which is imported from abroad. 'The design has met the highest safety ranking, a low footprint and extremely low energy consumption, making the vehicle ideal for most people's needs in cities as well as suburban roads,' Dr Perlo notes.
