TATER: Tamper Analysis via Transient Electromagnetic Response

Welcome to the TATER wiki.

Overview
Sometimes, it is impractical to physically modify a system in order to monitor it. The goal of TATER is to assess whether the code of a system has been changed without actually modifying the system it is monitoring, using electromagnetic signals emanating from the processor.

Design Strategy
Our strategy is to design an antenna to pick up electromagnetic signals emanating from a processor and analyze peaks in the frequency compared with an established baseline to identify changes to the boot code. Various statistical analysis techniques may be of use in pursuing this goal.
