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.
