This may be a rather obscure point, but if a cryptographic device 
takes different amounts of time to encrypt and decrypt equal-length 
blocks of text with different contents, it is a cryptographic 
vulnerability and may also provide a covert channel.

These time differences, however, have to be constant.  If they are 
simply a function of processing load, there is no vulnerability.

Latency is not a cryptosecurity issue, although, obviously, it can 
affect speech intelligibility.
