Abstract

This paper illustrates the research results concerning the character of signals emitted by the selected microcontroller via the power supply lines. The main purpose of the study is to determinate the instruction that is currently realized by the microprocessor, based on the conducted emission in the power supply lines. The research results presented in the study indicate that there are the differences in the spectrum of the signal emitted by the processor, depending on the program being executed. Thus, it can be presumed that there is a partly possibility to determinate the instruction currently realized by a microprocessor based on the conducted disturbances emitted by the power supply lines. It can be suggested that there is a risk for programs written in microprocessor memory, which should be protected from copying.
