Yes, that's an evident possibility, as is capturing the password from
radiation One mustobviously find ways of dealing with these,  but in
the end there's also the possibility ofphysical seizure of the machine.
What I'm looking for is a security strategy that forcesa would-be
attacker to resort to latter.

Thanks for you precisions.
