I always thought timing in JS was very imprecise, so "timing attacks" wouldn't work!?

- shakna 8y agoThis particular attack doesn't rely on high-precision timing, or cache layout. It measures CPU cache latency, and that's enough to create a fingerprint. If JS still had high-precision timing, then side-channel attacks with better information resolution are possible.
