samuele-andreoli opened a new issue #74: BIG comp is not constant time
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-milagro-crypto-c/issues/74
 
 
   The BIG comparison is not constant time. It should use a constant time 
implementation. For instance
   ```
   /* sodium constant time implementation */
   int BIG_XXX_comp(BIG_XXX a, BIG_XXX b)
   {
       int i;
       chunk gt=0; chunk eq=1;
       for (i = NLEN_XXX-1; i>=0; i--)
       {
           gt |= ((b[i]-a[i]) >> BASEBITS_XXX) & eq;
           eq &= ((b[i]^a[i])-1) >> BASEBITS_XXX;
       }
       return (int)(gt+gt+eq-1);
   }
   
   ```
