Tempest Detecting System

Tempest Detecting Systems are a type of equipment used in the field of cryptology. They fall under the supply class "Other Cryptologic Equipment And Components" and are categorized within the supply group "Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment."

Tempest refers to a set of standards and guidelines developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) to protect electronic equipment from compromising emanations. These emanations can potentially be intercepted and analyzed to extract sensitive information. Tempest Detecting Systems are designed to detect and mitigate these compromising emanations, ensuring the security and integrity of electronic equipment.

These systems typically consist of specialized hardware and software components that monitor and analyze electromagnetic emissions from electronic devices. They can detect and analyze various types of emanations, such as electromagnetic radiation, conducted emissions, and acoustic emissions. By identifying and analyzing these emanations, Tempest Detecting Systems can help identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure that electronic equipment meets the necessary security standards.

Overall, Tempest Detecting Systems play a crucial role in maintaining the security of electronic equipment and protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.
