On June 13, security researchers disclosed their findings that encryption keys for wireless devices are vulnerable to theft. This research found that cameras in cellular phones or commercial surveillance systems can be used to record power light emitting diodes (LEDs) from up to 60 feet away from a device, thus capturing encryption keys. This new weakness exploits two previously known side-channel attacks, a class of attacks measuring physical effects “leaking” from a device as it performs its…
