Yet another alarmist title. No, RSA hasn't been zapped. Not even remotely close. For those not wishing to slog through this paper, here's what it amounts to: If you can get close enough to the hardware that is encrypting data, and have sensitive enough equipment, you may be able to grab enough of the data to break the encryption through various indirect means. Interesting, sure, but pretty much meaningless. It should always be assumed no system is secure when it is physically accesible by an attacker.
