Mar 16, 2017 at 12:11 comment added Richie Frame @Raza a timing attack requires correlations to be calculated between timing averages. If you have 4096 s-box entries vs 256 s-box entries, more data and computation is required to perform the correlation analysis. Having more entries could also possibly make the attack easier, depending on the CPU.
Mar 16, 2017 at 7:28 comment added crypt you said, "S-box table lookups are a problem for cache timing consistency, they can reveal plaintext or key material. Multiple s-boxes can make it more difficult to mount such an attack, but s-box free designs can eliminate them" Please explain, how the more sboxes will help against cache timing attack?

clarification on twofish s-box generation tradeoff
May 30, 2016 at 18:38 comment added crypt Thanks a lot for such a nice explanation :) Here i got another issue, can you explain this (crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/35679/camellia-key-schedule) specially the last line of question, " does Camellia Keyschudule have it?"
