     # Ensure using fixed_length_secure_compare takes almost exactly the same amount of time to compare two different strings.
     # Regular string comparison will short-circuit on the first non-matching character, failing this test.
     # NOTE: this test may be susceptible to noise if the system running the tests is otherwise under load.
