byte_equal...imingattack(3) Library Functions Manual byte_equal...imingattack(3)

NAME
     byte_equal_notimingattack - compare two strings

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/byte.h>

     int byte_equal_notimingattack(const char *one,size_t len,const char *two);

DESCRIPTION
     byte_equal_notimingattack returns 1 if the strings are equal, 0 otherwise.

     When  the	strings are different, byte_equal_notimingattack will still read
     and compare all the other bytes. That way, an attacker observing the timing
     of the execution can not learn where the first mismatch occurred.

SEE ALSO
     byte_diff(3), byte_equal(3)
