Explanation:
Asynchronous describes a process in which the timing of each step may vary. A timeof check/time of use (TOC/TOU) attack is when an attacker can modify somethingduring the different steps of checking and using functions within software. Thefirst step that software will carry out is to "check" for the presence ofsomething and then software will "use" this item that was checked. Anattacker would modify something in between these two steps. TOC\TOU is a softwarebug caused by changes in a system between the checking of a condition (such as asecurity credential) and the use of the results of that check. It is a kind of racecondition.
