.TH byte_equal_notimingattack 3 .SH NAME byte_equal_notimingattack \- compare two strings .SH SYNTAX .B #include int \fBbyte_equal_notimingattack\fP(const char *\fIone\fR,size_t \fIlen\fR,const char *\fItwo\fR); .SH DESCRIPTION \fIbyte_equal_notimingattack\fR 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. .SH "SEE ALSO" byte_diff(3), byte_equal(3)
