Why Constant-Time Crypto?

BearSSL's documentation explains why cryptographic implementations must run in constant time. Code whose execution time varies with secret data, such as encryption keys, leaks information through timing side channels, letting attackers recover secrets by measuring how long operations take. The page walks through how variable-time operations like comparisons and table lookups betray secrets, and the techniques developers use to eliminate these leaks.

Why now: Developers and security researchers are revisiting side-channel risks as cryptographic implementations face growing scrutiny.
