+# buffer-equal-constant-time
+
+Constant-time `Buffer` comparison for node.js.  Should work with browserify too.
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/goinstant/buffer-equal-constant-time.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/goinstant/buffer-equal-constant-time)
+
+```sh
+  npm install buffer-equal-constant-time
+```
+
+# Usage
+
+```js
+  var bufferEq = require('buffer-equal-constant-time');
+
+  var a = new Buffer('asdf');
+  var b = new Buffer('asdf');
+  if (bufferEq(a,b)) {
+    // the same!
+  } else {
+    // different in at least one byte!
+  }
+```
+
+If you'd like to install an `.equal()` method onto the node.js `Buffer` and
+`SlowBuffer` prototypes:
+
+```js
+  require('buffer-equal-constant-time').install();
+
+  var a = new Buffer('asdf');
+  var b = new Buffer('asdf');
+  if (a.equal(b)) {
+    // the same!
+  } else {
+    // different in at least one byte!
+  }
+```
+
+To get rid of the installed `.equal()` method, call `.restore()`:
+
+```js
+  require('buffer-equal-constant-time').restore();
+```
