It definitely is. When I say 'higher level' I mean not-assembly. The critical thing is that the compiler/ optimizer can reshuffle your instructions to make them faster/ break your assumptions about how long the code runs for.

No, timing attacks are really fundamental. They're always relevant.
Your approach is basically "add a time sleep" and this is a flawed method. You could also say "Always insert a random sleep" and again, this is vulnerable.
There's lots of research on timing attacks.

Have you ever worked in a high-security environment?
Something so secure you could be shot?
I have, albeit in a non-technical position at the time -- and let me tell you the subsecond-deltas it takes for the time for you to insert your CAC to entry mean pretty much jack-shit when you tampering with the entry-/validation-mechanism^1 (a requirement for the sort of system being talked about) in any way is very possibly going to get you shot.
> Your approach is basically "add a time sleep" and this is a flawed method. You could also say "Always insert a random sleep" and again, this is vulnerable.
That's not "*add a time sleep*" it's a "*don't return until X time has passed*" -- if you do your analysis like the comment suggested, you would set your minimum time to the worst-case time of the validation method thereby making validation a constant-time operation.
And again, time might not be an issue. Yes, it might be fundamental to some attacks, but the entire system itself might preclude those attacks.

You will compare the hashes not the input. So the time difference you may or may not be able to measure is the time difference it takes to compare different hashes.
So if your password is "password1" and you send "password0" the hashes of both are most likely vastly different and the comparison might fail on the first check, thus you will get no information.
You basically have to generate input that will produce a certain hash so you can do the comparison you want to do.

Those are not as obvious as you claim.

> 1 -- This is actually required for the sort of timing attack you're talking about, the inaccuracies and human motions themselves would introduce too much variableness for any sort of accuracy on the timing.
This isn't true over time. If your distribution is even, over a number of connections I can deduce min/max and average values of variance and eliminate them from the data. I would send the same password n times, find out how long it took each time, and eliminate noise. This is why inserting random time delays into auth doesn't work.
> That's not "add a time sleep" it's a "don't return until X time has passed"
Yes, as in sleep until that time has passed.
Sounds super error prone and implementation defined. I don't understand why you wouldn't just use a constant time function, which will always work and requires 0 system calls / measurement etc.
> Yes, it might be fundamental to some attacks, but the entire system itself might preclude those attacks.
Maybe. But in any authentication scheme you're assuming an attacker can send you arbitrary passwords repeatably. Maybe you can rate limit to make things infeasible, in which case kudos, mitigated at some other level. Maybe you use 'double HMAC' or some other technique. My point is that it's far more complicated than 'salt and hash'.
edit: I can also clarify something - you don't have to write your password comparison in assembly. You can implement other strategies. But *given the code I provided* the issue is that it is vulnerable to a timing attack - whether solved through constant time comparisons (what I would consider the simplest, most elegant solution) or another strategy, the code I posted is vulnerable to that attack. | null | 0 | 1491242760 | 1491243065 | 0 | dfs2z7i | t3_6344ep | null | null | t1_dfs2oba | null | 1493763343 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Taking these rules on face-value, it looks like it actually affects two different groups of jobs differently: It prioritizes visas for roles that require multiple or advanced degrees (e.g. computer-vision researchers) as opposed to software engineers in general.
> If anything, a Google may now pay everybody LESS because of simple supply & demand
By saying "everybody", I think you're conflating those two groups, who will each see different outcomes.
* General software engineers making moderate amounts may see an increase in wages, because they aren't fighting the flood of body-shop stuff from Tata/Infosys/etc.
* Specialized engineers already earning big-bucks may see a decrease in wages, because their foreign competition is now actually able to get visas at a higher rate due to less body-shop spam of the visa process.

Much like you dont need to remember all those AVL, RB, A-B and whatever else trees, but you kinda should know there is something like a tree, that it has some properties (search is fast), and you should kinda recognize a tree if you see it.

Trust me, a security model can certainly have non-software components, and can certainly be restricted in ways so that timing-attacks are not an issue.

Almost every single language has problems with syntax. It's not about making a prettier "if" statement, it's about how C++11 introduced an initialization syntax that was supposed to be *the* way to initialize, but turns out it's also broken in it's own way. It's about operators that break each other silently. It's about the syntax needing to be drawn out for a few minutes to remember if it's a pointer to a const int's pointer or a const pointer to a int's pointer or a pointer to an int's const pointer.
And we look at syntax all day long, the stuff gets ingrained into our heads and I'd like for it to be clear and pretty. I love lua as a language, but the syntax drives me a bit bonkers and I don't use it. There's a good debate to be had between whitespace as indentation vs braces (though I take the side of braces). A lot of compiler errors could have been solved, and a lot of money may have been saved if the syntax for assignment was '=:' instead of '=', but that hasn't been fixed yet.
A good analogy is that syntax is the user interface (controls and UI) in a game. The game could be absolutely killer, but if you load it up and, just, God damn that's an ugly UI. And whenever I strafe left, jump, and shoot simultaneously my character commits suicide. It's going to be disruptive. And if your demo is 5 minutes long and you have to work through that kind of interface, you're not going to buy the game. First impressions are the most important.
I do understand where you're coming from, though. There are bigger fish to fry and a lot of questions regarding syntax have been solved (at leat I think we stopped using 'begin' and 'end' blocks). But there are tons of unsolved problems and the biggest offenders tend to be the most widely used languages. So for the vast majority of the programmers living in the real world - syntax is a very real issue. | null | 0 | 1491244142 | False | 0 | dfs478f | t3_631p99 | null | null | t1_dfrykcm | null | 1493763957 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

A typical large employer will buy 300 tickets if they want 100 visas. A small employer can't compete with that. | null | 0 | 1491244178 | False | 0 | dfs4893 | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfs2yse | null | 1493763970 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
