    Abstract: Embodiments for passive spychip detection through polarizability and advanced pattern recognition are described. For example a method includes inducing a magnetic field in a passive component of a target system while the target system is emitting EMI with changes in amplitude repeating at a time interval; generating a time series of measurements of a combined magnetic field strength of the induced magnetic field and the EMI; executing a frequency-domain to time-domain transformation on the time series of measurements to create time series signals of combined magnetic field strength over time at a specific frequency range; monitoring the time series signals with an ML model trained to predict correct signal values to determine whether predicted and measured values of the time series agree; and indicating that the target device may contain a passive spychip where anomalies are detected, and is free of passive spychips where no anomalies are detected.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments for passive component (e.g., spychip) detection through polarizability and advanced pattern recognition are described. In one embodiment a method includes applying an electromagnetic field to a target electronic system while the target electronic system is emitting a test pattern of electromagnetic interference. The method takes measurements of combined electromagnetic field strength emitted by the target electronic system while the electromagnetic field is being applied. The method detects the passive component based on dissimilarity between the measurements and estimates of electromagnetic field strength for the test pattern for a golden electronic system. The golden electronic system is of similar construction to the target electronic system and does not include the passive component. The method generates an electronic alert that the passive component is present in the target electronic system.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with detecting feedback control instability in computer thermal controls are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes for a set of dwell time intervals, wherein the dwell time intervals are associated with a range of periods of time from an initial period to a base period, executing a workload that varies from minimum to maximum over the period on a computer during the dwell time interval; recording telemetry data from the computer during execution of the workload; incrementing the period towards a base period; determining that either the base period is reached or a thermal inertia threshold is reached; and analyzing the recorded telemetry data over the set of dwell time intervals to either (i) detect presence of a feedback control instability in thermal control for the computer; or (ii) confirm feedback control stability in thermal control for the computer.
