Fonction compare_digest - module hmac

Signature de la fonction compare_digest

def compare_digest(a, b) 

Description

help(hmac.compare_digest)

Return 'a == b'.

This function uses an approach designed to prevent
timing analysis, making it appropriate for cryptography.

a and b must both be of the same type: either str (ASCII only),
or any bytes-like object.

Note: If a and b are of different lengths, or if an error occurs,
a timing attack could theoretically reveal information about the
types and lengths of a and b--but not their values.
