Annotations

dc:descriptionA timing attack is a form of side channel attack where the attacker tries to break a cryptosystem by analyzing the time taken to execute cryptographic algorithms. The attack exploits the fact that, particularly in asymmetric key algorithms, computation time for a private key operation is dependent on the key in some way. (Wikipedia) (Term also badly explained in ODotI)
