Start Timing Attacks section with a definition, use cryptography as an example

Open sam-ellis opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

The Timing Attacks section launches straight in with cryptography as a place where timing attacks are used, possibly leading to the conclusion that cryptography is the only place where timing attacks occur. I would recommend to re-write the first paragraph to define Timing Attacks abstractly first, then use cryptography as an example of where this can occur.
