Depends on what you mean by timing attack.
The only vulnerability of Tor, which heavily depends on cryptography, is timing analysis.
One of the most important lessons of cryptography is that it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Timing between messages and message sizes can be enough to end you.
- platz 10y agoI guess "timing analysis" means something else, more akin to correlation of meta-data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack is pretty clear, so maybe I was referring to something else than the OP.
