SCRAM Timing Attack Hardening

XMLWordPrintable

    • Undefined

      Currently org.wildfly.security.mechanism.scram.ScramServer uses simple byte comparison to verify the message nonce and client proof.
      Simple byte comparison returns on the first mismatch and is therefore susceptible to timing attacks.

      java.security.MessageDigest#isEqual(byte[],byte[]) should be used to compare message nonces and client proofs in constant time.
