constant_time_eq 0.4.0

Compares two equal-sized byte strings in constant time.
Documentation
//! Compares two equal-sized byte strings in constant time.
//!
//! The time of the comparison does not depend on:
//!
//! * The contents of the inputs;
//! * The position of the difference(s) between the inputs.
//!
//! The time of the comparison can depend on:
//!
//! * The memory addresses of the inputs;
//! * The length of the inputs.
