But by using the `secrets.compare_digest()` it will be secure against a type of attacks called "timing attacks".

### Timing Attacks { #timing-attacks }

But what's a "timing attack"?

Let's imagine some attackers are trying to guess the username and password.

And they send a request with a username `johndoe` and a password `love123`.

By default, OkHttp trusts the certificate authorities of the host platform. This strategy maximizes connectivity, but it is subject to certificate authority attacks such as the [2011 DigiNotar attack](https://www.computerworld.com/article/2510951/cybercrime-hacking/hackers-spied-on-300-000-iranians-using-fake-google-certificate.html). It also assumes your HTTPS servers’ certificates are signed by a certificate authority.

Porém, ao utilizar o `secrets.compare_digest()`, isso estará seguro contra um tipo de ataque chamado "timing attacks" (ataques de temporização).

### Ataques de Temporização

Mas o que é um "timing attack" (ataque de temporização)?

Vamos imaginar que alguns invasores estão tentando adivinhar o usuário e a senha.

Pero al usar `secrets.compare_digest()` será seguro contra un tipo de ataques llamados "timing attacks".

### Timing Attacks

¿Pero qué es un "timing attack"?

Imaginemos que algunos atacantes están tratando de adivinar el nombre de usuario y la contraseña.

Y envían un request con un nombre de usuario `johndoe` y una contraseña `love123`.
