In cryptography, a timing attack is a side-channel attack in which the attacker attempts to compromise a cryptosystem by analyzing the time taken to execute cryptographic algorithms. Every logical operation in a computer takes time to execute, and the time can differ based on the input; with precise measurements of the time for each operation ...
The use of mental chronometry in psychological research is far ranging, encompassing nomothetic models of information processing in the human auditory and visual systems, as well as differential psychology topics such as the role of individual differences in RT in human cognitive ability, aging, and a variety of clinical and psychiatric ...

That is, timing precision is relative to the size of the interval being timed [4] (See Accuracy and precision). This is the "scalar" property that gives the model its name. For example, when timing a 10 sec interval an animal might be precise to within 1 sec, whereas when timing a 100 sec interval the animal would be precise to only about 10 sec.
One common example is a frequent occurrence when making telephone calls. If, while listening to the phone's dial tone, research subjects move the phone from one ear to the other, the length of time between rings appears longer. [65] In the tactile domain, chronostasis has persisted in research subjects as they reach for and grasp objects.
Traffic analysis method can be used to break the anonymity of anonymous networks, e.g., TORs. [1] There are two methods of traffic-analysis attack, passive and active. In passive traffic-analysis method, the attacker extracts features from the traffic of a specific flow on one side of the network and looks for those features on the other side of the network.
In psychology, temporal motivation theory (TMT) is an integrative motivational theory developed by Piers Steel and Cornelius J. König. The theory emphasizes time as a critical and motivational factor. The argument for a broad, integrative theory stems from the absence of a single theory that can address motivation in its entirety.
This section was confusing. While the example applied to OpenSSL, the attack was general to SSL/TLS using block ciphers in CBC mode (which itself might be a good example). I think the article requires more background to timing attacks, and then include more detailed examples if needed. Mmernex 15:17, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
