ssd timing

The tag ssd timing covers discussions about using solid-state drive access timing as a side-channel for inferring other applications or websites. A notable example is the FROST browser side-channel technique, disclosed by researchers at Graz University of Technology, which uses JavaScript and the Origin Private File System to measure SSD timing behavior. This method can infer other open websites and applications, highlighting that modern browser privacy boundaries extend beyond cookies and permissions to include storage device behavior. The tag focuses on security research and implications for browser-based privacy, particularly how SSD timing can be exploited in side-channel attacks.
