Timing attack in Google Keyczar library

Javi mailed it to me last week, and now I came across it again while reading my feeds. Nate Lawson found and described on his blog a timing (side channel) attack in Google Keyzcar library.

Take a look at his post, it's a typical problem found in string/array comparisons, and you should take it into account when programming embedded devices and any other security-related code in general.

PD: I said very soon, didn't I? 😛
