# buffer-equal-constant-time
Constant-time `Buffer` comparison for node.js. Should work with browserify too.
[](https://travis-ci.org/goinstant/buffer-equal-constant-time)
```sh npm install buffer-equal-constant-time ```
# Usage
```js var bufferEq = require('buffer-equal-constant-time');
var a = new Buffer('asdf'); var b = new Buffer('asdf'); if (bufferEq(a,b)) { // the same! } else { // different in at least one byte! } ```
If you'd like to install an `.equal()` method onto the node.js `Buffer` and `SlowBuffer` prototypes:
```js require('buffer-equal-constant-time').install();
var a = new Buffer('asdf'); var b = new Buffer('asdf'); if (a.equal(b)) { // the same! } else { // different in at least one byte! } ```
To get rid of the installed `.equal()` method, call `.restore()`:
```js require('buffer-equal-constant-time').restore(); ```
