What is tsscmp?

The tsscmp npm package is a utility for performing timing-safe string comparisons. This is particularly useful for security purposes, such as comparing cryptographic hashes or passwords, to prevent timing attacks.

What are tsscmp's main functionalities?

Timing-Safe String Comparison

This feature allows you to compare two strings in a way that is resistant to timing attacks. The comparison takes the same amount of time regardless of how similar the strings are, which helps to prevent attackers from gaining information based on the time it takes to compare the strings.

const tsscmp = require('tsscmp');

const a = 'password123';
const b = 'password123';

if (tsscmp(a, b)) {
  console.log('Strings are equal');
} else {
  console.log('Strings are not equal');
}
