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

### Timing Attacks

But what's a "timing attack"?

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

	defer m.mu.Unlock()

Calls are executed in one of two ways:

 * **Synchronous:** your thread blocks until the response is readable.
 * **Asynchronous:** you enqueue the request on any thread, and get [called back](https://square.github.io/okhttp/4.x/okhttp/okhttp3/-callback/) on another thread when the response is readable.

  - New objects inherit the retention settings of the bucket object lock configuration automatically
  - Retention headers can be optionally set while uploading objects
  - Once objects are uploaded PutObjectRetention API can be called to change retention settings
- *MINIO_NTP_SERVER* environment variable can be set to remote NTP server endpoint if system time is not desired for setting retention dates.
