An unclassified term referring to investigations and studies of compromising emanations, it is sometimes used synonymously for the term "compromising emanation". Tongue-in-cheek meaning: Tiny ElectroMagnetic Particles Emanating Secret Things

A term normally used to describe compromising emanations. These emanations are unintentionally radiated signals that could disclose classified information.

threat from electronic emissions

The study and control of spurious electronic signals emitted from ADP equipment.

Short name referring to investigation, study, and control of compromising emanations from telecommunications and automated information systems equipment (See compromising emanations).

A code word (not an acronym) which encompasses the government/industrial program for controlling the emissions from systems processing classified data. Individual equipment may be 'TEMPESTED" or commercial equipment may be placed in shielded enclosures.

Classified procedure which details the complex measurement of the combined reduction of all Electromagnetic emissions from specified equipment.

Short name referring to investigation, study, and control of compromising emanations from telecommunications and information systems equipment (NSTISSI 1997).

Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanation Standard

The acronym for Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Surveillance Technology and the name of U.S. government program that evaluates and certifies electronic equipment resistant to eavesdropping. Electronic equipment, such as computers, release interference to the surrounding environment. This interference can be observed by placing two video monitors close together. The pictures will behave erratically until the monitors are spaced apart. Computers emit digital pulses (1s and 0s) in two arrangements, radiated emissions and conducted emissions. Radiated emissions occur when components in electrical devices act as antennas. Conducted emissions occur as radiation conducted along cables and wires. Devices exist that can monitor and interpret emissions, and herein lies the security risk.

TEMPEST is a codename referring to investigations and studies of compromising emanations (CE). Compromising emanations are defined as unintentionial intelligence-bearing signals which, if intercepted and analyzed, disclose the information transmitted, received, handled, or otherwise processed by any information-processing equipment.

Tempest was a British progressive rock band featuring Allan Holdsworth (Soft Machine, Gong, U.K.) on guitar, Jon Hiseman (Colosseum) on drums, Mark Clarke (Colosseum, Uriah Heep) on bass, and Paul Williams on vocals and keyboards. Guitarist Ollie Halsall (Timebox, The Rutles) was also a member of the group briefly. The group are referred to as a "minor supergroup" in liner notes.

The classic rock band Tempest was founded in 2005 by Paul James, formerly of the New Animals. The band's line-up consists of several experienced musicians, who have played with bands such as Saxon - of which the guitarist Graham Oliver was a founding member of.

Tempest is a Columbia Pictures 1982 film which was directed by Paul Mazursky. It is an adaptation of the William Shakespeare play, The Tempest.
