fn constantTimeEq

Compares two byte strings in time that does not depend on where they differ (different lengths are unequal at once).

Example:

use std.crypto { constantTimeEq }
use std.ser { bytesOf }

fn main() io {
  print("{constantTimeEq(bytesOf(&"a"), bytesOf(&"a"))} {constantTimeEq(bytesOf(&"a"), bytesOf(&"b"))}")
}

true false

pub(api) fn constantTimeEq(a: bytes, b: bytes) -> bool
