Typically gpg is used in asychronous communication. Ie, I encrypt or sign something and send the file to someone else who decrypts or verifies it at their leisure. So how can timing attacks be used?
- tedunangst 12y agoI send you an email. Your mail client pipes it through gpg upon receipt. Meanwhile, I have a microphone pointed at your computer from across the room listening to your capacitors humming. Now I have the key you used to decrypt the message.
