  Description     : Constant-time string comparison

This module contains a function `equals(x,y)`, a function which
determines the equality or inequality of strings. The time taken for the
function to be evaluated is dependent only on the length of the strings,
not their content. This helps to protect against "timing side-channel
attacks".
