The New York Times carried an article today describing Paul Kocher's
power monitoring attack against smartcard cryptosystems.
http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/98/06/biztech/articles/22card.html
The article contains expected "oh we knew about that and it isn't
really a problem" quotes from a couple of rather foolish sounding
executives.
