Fix for timing attacks against OAuth.php #178

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I've made a patch for OAuth.php that implements the recommended style of 
constant-time string comparison to fix the timing attack problem described 
here: 
http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2010/07/17/oauth-and-openid-authentication-vul
nerable-to-timing-attack/

I've done some testing and it seems to mitigate the problem, but someone with 
security expertise should review this. Use at your own risk.
