A few weeks back there was discussion of what standards
apply to RF shielded enclosures which may be used for
TEMPEST protection. Those who know apparently cannot
tell due to NDA or secrecy agreements with the USG. We've
run across a 1998 Air Force CBD solicitation below for a
shielded enclosure which describes performance requirements.
Those who may know if this meets TEMPEST protection requirements
would perform a public service if confirming that is the case, perhaps
by way of an anonymous message to punks or to me (PK appended).
BTW, our FOIA request to NSA for release of classified standards
on TEMPEST is due to be answered sometime this month. Still
no indication which, if any, of the docs are going to be released.
Someone on Cyberia-L says that many of them have already been
declassified and released to public repositories. So far we've not
found any of them. Leads appreciated.
