Comment on RSA Key Extraction via Low-Bandwidth Acoustic CryptanalysisComments−Sami_Lehtinen12yNobody mentioned TEMPEST yet in this comment thread. It's old (60s) but very interesting stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_%28codename%29 It includes acoustical leaks as one side channel.

It's cool that they were able to demonstrate it that well.−hardwaresofton12yCame in here to make this exact comment -- the amount of things looked into as ways to leak secrets was insane, even going as far as detecting screen radiation IIRC.−midas00712yCheck out this researcher's papers: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ esp.
