Data Emanation: The unintentional radiation or transmission of electrical signals from electronic equipment, such as a computer or a network device, which can potentially disclose sensitive information. Adversaries can intercept and decode these signals, also known as compromising emanations, to gain unauthorized access to the information, making mitigation techniques such as shielding, signal jamming, or the use of secure communication protocols essential.
