Why Constant-Time Crypto Matters

Original: Why Constant-Time Crypto?

BearSSL's documentation explains why cryptographic code must run in constant time, regardless of secret data, to prevent timing side-channel attacks. The piece walks through how attackers can leak keys by measuring how long operations take, and why developers must write code that avoids data-dependent branches and memory access. It serves as a primer for implementers of cryptographic libraries.

Why now: Timing side-channels remain a live practical threat, so developers keep debating and sharing guidance on writing constant-time cryptographic code
