Timing attack test for OAuth 1 provider #74

Timing attacks are used to reveal secrets using statistical sampling in large quantities and could in worst case reveal secret keys.

It would be really awesome to have a test that could be used against OAuthLibs verify_request to ensure it does not introduce variance in execution time between different requests in a way that would allow user enumeration or secret key guessing.

A large bonus if this could easily be imported by developers implementing oauth providers and ran against their setup.

This will be more valuable in the OAuth 2 audit test suite I am occasionally working on.
