Use <function>timingsafe_bcmp()</function> instead
of <function>memcpy()</function> or <function>strcmp()</function>
of <function>memcmp()</function> or <function>strcmp()</function>
when checking passwords, hashes, etc. It is not known whether the
data dependency of those functions is usefully exploitable in any of
these places, but in the interests of safety, replace them.
