closes #284

  • Replace linear equality check with constant-time comparison using subtle crate
  • Add comprehensive test suite for constant-time behavior
  • Add performance benchmarks to validate timing characteristics
  • Fix compilation errors in blockchain module

This addresses security vulnerability where API key verification could leak timing information allowing attackers to infer valid keys through timing analysis.
