gollark: Yes, I think that's mostly a problem if you're directly comparing secret values of some sort, and not really for hashes.

gollark: > ah so add like a random delay before it returns, or something?... no, they could filter that out using magic, you need a constant time comparison thing.

gollark: If they put in one thing, and observe that it takes slightly longer, then that implies that more of the characters in the ~~password~~ one secret value versus the other match at the start.

gollark: But consider: attackers may be able to measure minor differences in the timing of operations in your service.
