[Spec] Add text related to timing attacks #63

Closed bokand closed 4 years ago

bokand commented 4 years ago

I forgot to include anything about the timing related attacks in the security section of the specification. This PR adds a subsection that talks about the vulnerability and specifies that the UA must prevent differences in timing during navigation (which could potentially be measured from JS). We don't specify the exact way to do this (but provide some examples) since there are multiple acceptable ways.

Fixes #62
