Remote timing attacks are practical

Specifically, we devise a timing attack against OpenSSL. The experiments show that we can extract private keys from an OpenSSL-based web server running on a machine in the local network.
Results demonstrate that timing attacks against network servers are practical and therefore all security systems should defend against them.
