sodium_memcmp — Test for equality in constant-time
Description
sodium_memcmp(string
$string1, string $string2): intCompare two strings in constant-time.
In practice, you almost always want to use hash_equals() instead, since it provides the same logic but returns a bool instead of an int. However, if you're using the return value of a comparison in a calculation that's timing-sensitive, and worried about timing leaks with bool-to-int conversions, sodium_memcmp() is an ideal replacement.
Parameters
-
string1 -
String to compare
-
string2 -
Other string to compare
Return Values
Returns 0 if both strings are equal; -1 otherwise.
