- potentialAttackerSuppliedString
- Type:
System String
The string controlled by a potential attacker.
- referenceString
- Type: System String
The string not controlled by a potential attacker.
Return Value
true if the strings are equal.
If the reference string is zero-length, this method does not protect it against timing attacks.
If the reference string is extremely long, memory caching effects may reveal that fact.
