Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for monitoring a computer system that includes activating and controlling a target processor by way of an electromagnetic signal. The method also includes generating a key for a computer security method via processor readable instructions stored on a first memory device; transmitting the key to the target processor via an electromagnetic signal; and requesting the target processor to perform the computer security method on a target memory device via an electromagnetic signal, where the computer security method uses the key as a seed.
