What is the best way to compare two byte arrays in C#? I do not wish to use a for loop.

I have the following arrays:

byte[] hashBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(pass);

and:

byte[] hash = pbkdf2.GetBytes(20);

I have tried using:

bool isEqual = Enumerable.SequenceEqual(hashBytes, hash);

However, it always returns false.

    Are you sure they are indeed equal in the case where SequenceEqual didn't work? Commented Dec 9, 2015 at 17:39

  • I'd recommend a constant time comparison, but of course it still uses a loop. Commented Dec 9, 2015 at 23:12
