“It’s unlikely that anyone envisioned the evolution of cryptographic key thievery to include leavened flatbread, but that’s where we’ve arrived. 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.”
