Security researchers claim encryption keys on smartphones can be used to steal by radio waves to catch. The keys would almost immediately are likely to be stolen as soon as it on a smartphone be used.
The creators, who at security firm Cryptography Research work, want their hacktool next month to demonstrate, but have already explained that their technique, using radio waves works. When the required device within three metres of a smartphone is placed, can encryption keys to be read: when an encryption key is used, it is at the same time stolen: this is because electromagnetic radiation in the use of the keys is transmitted by the hacktool is collected. There is not reported to any wireless techniques that is unclear or network technology such as gsm or umts is susceptible.
With the tool want to be the creators of a vulnerability in the widely used encryption method on smartphones show. What smart phones are susceptible, they would not be lost, but may come here to the announced demonstration for more clarity. In addition, let the security company know that the vulnerability can be remedied, and that there is a large smartphonemaker is worked to set the encryption to improve.
