So use serpent - it is implemented without any data-dependent lookup 
tables, so it has no timing attacks.

AES uses data-dependent lookup tables, on CPU with hyperthreding, the 
second thread can observe L1 cache footprint done by the first thread and 
get some information about data being encrypted...
