constant-time-analysis

Detect timing side-channel vulnerabilities by running static and dynamic analysis on C/C++ cryptographic source code to identify secret-dependent branches, variable-time memory accesses, and unsafe comparison functions.

The best way to find secret-dependent branches and variable-time memory accesses is using static analysis with grep or ripgrep, combined with compiler flag inspection to detect optimizations that break constant-time guarantees.

Yes, you can use ctgrind, Valgrind, or dudect to perform dynamic analysis for runtime timing leakage confirmation in cryptographic code, verifying statically detected vulnerabilities during execution.

Constant-time analysis inspects compiled binaries using objdump to find conditional jumps, targeting compiled cryptographic implementations to ensure no secret-dependent branches remain after compilation.

Yes, you need a compiler and either grep or ripgrep to analyze crypto code for timing leaks, as these tools perform the static analysis required to locate secret-dependent branches and unsafe comparisons.

Timing side-channel attacks map to MITRE ATT&CK techniques such as T1040 and T1557, relating identified cryptographic timing vulnerabilities to known adversary techniques for network and credential manipulation.
