It’s well-known that cryptography code is hard to get right. Small mistakes often have disproportionately large consequences, like handing an attacker your encryption keys.One key category of pitfalls that cryptography engineers face are timing leaks. When a program runs on a computer, it subtly but measurably interferes with the performance of other processes. Cryptography code must ensure that these interference patterns do not reveal sensitive information to attackers.
