hash_equals — Timing attack safe string comparison

Description

hash_equals ( string $known_string , string $user_string ) : bool

Compares two strings using the same time whether they're equal or not.

This function should be used to mitigate timing attacks; for instance, when testing crypt() password hashes.

Examples

Example #1 hash_equals() example

<?php
$expected  = crypt('12345', '$2a$07$usesomesillystringforsalt$');
$correct   = crypt('12345', '$2a$07$usesomesillystringforsalt$');
$incorrect = crypt('apple',  '$2a$07$usesomesillystringforsalt$');

var_dump(hash_equals($expected, $correct));
var_dump(hash_equals($expected, $incorrect));
?>

The above example will output:

bool(true)
bool(false)

Notes

Note:

Both arguments must be of the same length to be compared successfully. When arguments of differing length are supplied, FALSE is returned immediately and the length of the known string may be leaked in case of a timing attack.

Note:

It is important to provide the user-supplied string as the second parameter, rather than the first.
