Hey, don't go for constant time, that's too hard to get perfect. Add a
*random* delay. This particular crypto-flaw is pretty easy to fix.
(See, I'm not *always* arguing the downside of cryptography!)
It is worth noting, however, the extent to which "secure" cryptographic
protocols keep needing to get fixed one last time.... -- Nathaniel
