Constant-time comparisons prevent timing attacks in sensitive crypto code. For example, Go's poly1305 implementation uses a constant-time routine to verify MACs. Now Zig users can do the same with
mem.secureEql
. (But since this is easy to forget, it may be prudent to add averify
function to Zig'sPoly1305
struct, and elsewhere.)Currently this function only works on integer types. I imagine it could be made to work with other types as well, but I'm very new to Zig so I didn't attempt to do so.
