Why Constant-Time Crypto Matters

Original: Why Constant-Time Crypto?

BearSSL's explainer on constant-time cryptography is drawing attention, laying out why cryptographic code must take the same time to run regardless of secret data. Timing variations can leak keys to attackers, so implementations use techniques like masked operations and fixed-time comparisons to prevent side-channel attacks.

Why now: The technical explainer is being shared and discussed for its clear treatment of side-channel security in cryptographic implementations.
