Hi,
there's a paper by Osvik, Shamir and Tromer that discusses local
side channel attacks on cache access times of AES tables:
http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~tromer/papers/cache.pdf

Can you please comment to which extent gnupg's AES implementation
is affected?
If so, are you planning to implement some of the mitigation measures
described in chapter 5?

Cheers,
        Moritz
