Ross Anderson at Cambridge University has produced a set of word processing software that can defeat V-E scanning using software only. What you see on the screen is not what you see in the van - it's unintelligible. I don't know how it works and I have no idea if anyone is picking up on it commercially.
It is actually a set of modified fonts that produce less TEMPEST visible emanations on the screen. The paper by Markus Kuhn and Ross Anderson on the software anti-TEMPEST measures (such like the fonts) can be found at Markus' website: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ih98-tempest.pdf/ It of course can't be always successful, but it can make the intelligence harder. AFAIK latest versions of NAI PGP use similiar fonts. -- Paweł Krawczyk <http://ceti.pl/~kravietz/>
