<code class="sig">Crypto.ct_equal(a, b) -&gt; bool</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Compares two strings for equality without short-circuiting: every character is examined even once a difference is found, so the time taken does not reveal where — or whether — the strings first diverged. Reach for it whenever you compare a secret, token, or MAC that an attacker might be probing. For the common case of checking a message tag, <a href="crypto-verify_hmac"><code>Crypto.verify_hmac</code></a> already does this for you; use <code>ct_equal</code> directly when you hold both values yourself. Strings of different length return <code>false</code> at once (length is not secret). For ordinary, non-secret text just use <code>==</code> — the constant-time guarantee is not free.</p></div>
