Researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel are expected in September to present a paper at the Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded System on the latest side-channel attack exposing crypto keys. The scientists—Daniel Genkin, Lev Pachmanov, Itamar Pipman, and Eran Tromer—have developed an inexpensive rig they say from close proximity steals GnuPG keys from a laptop. The setup, which they’ve called the Portable Instrument for Trace Acquisition (PITA), does indeed fit inside pita bread.”
