Abstract

In this paper we propose a method of detecting the propagation frequencies of compromising emanations in order to evaluate the risk of eavesdropping the display units. By modulating the video signal with an audio file, we have been able to detect the compromising emanations on the frequencies where the audition occurred. The level of those emanations is an important issue in the process of evaluating the security risk. The higher the level, the higher is the probability of detection and reconstruction of displayed information.
