TEMPEST |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Idioms, Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.04 sec. |
TEMPESTRefers to external electromagnetic radiation from data processing equipment and the security measures used to prevent them. Almost all electronic equipment emanates signals into free space or surrounding conductive objects such as metal cabinets, wires and pipes. Equipment and cables that meet TEMPEST requirements have extra shielding in order to keep data signals from escaping and being picked up by unauthorized listeners. It is also possible to use TEMPEST software that generates sufficient electronic noise to mask meaningful radio-frequency emissions. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Here she tried again to force the nose of the flier back toward Helium, but the tempest seized the frail thing and hurled it remorselessly about, rolling it over and over and tossing it as it were a cork in a cataract. -- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-- On this home by Horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore-- Is there--is there balm in Gilead? |
