Functions ¶
func BuildReaderProof ¶
func BuildReaderProof(r io.Reader, h hash.Hash, segmentSize int, index uint64) (root []byte, proofSet [][]byte, numLeaves uint64, err error)
BuildReaderProof returns a proof that certain data is in the merkle tree created by the data in the reader. The merkle root, set of proofs, and the number of leaves in the Merkle tree are all returned. All leaves will we 'segmentSize' bytes except the last leaf, which will not be padded out if there are not enough bytes remaining in the reader.
func ReaderRoot ¶
ReaderRoot returns the Merkle root of the data read from the reader, where each leaf is 'segmentSize' long and 'h' is used as the hashing function. All leaves will be 'segmentSize' bytes except the last leaf, which will not be padded out if there are not enough bytes remaining in the reader.
func VerifyProof ¶
func VerifyProof(h hash.Hash, merkleRoot []byte, proofSet [][]byte, proofIndex uint64, numLeaves uint64) bool
VerifyProof takes a Merkle root, a proofSet, and a proofIndex and returns true if the first element of the proof set is a leaf of data in the Merkle root. False is returned if the proof set or Merkle root is nil, and if 'numLeaves' equals 0.
Types ¶
type Tree ¶
type Tree struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Tree takes data as leaves and returns the Merkle root. Each call to 'Push' adds one leaf to the Merkle tree. Calling 'Root' returns the Merkle root. The Tree also constructs proof that a single leaf is a part of the tree. The leaf can be chosen with 'SetIndex'. The memory footprint of Tree grows in O(log(n)) in the number of leaves.
func New ¶
New creates a new Tree. The provided hash will be used for all hashing operations within the Tree.
func (*Tree) Prove ¶
Prove creates a proof that the leaf at the established index (established by SetIndex) is an element of the Merkle tree. Prove will return a nil proof set if used incorrectly. Prove does not modify the Tree. Prove can only be called if SetIndex has been called previously.
func (*Tree) Push ¶
Push will add data to the set, building out the Merkle tree and Root. The tree does not remember all elements that are added, instead only keeping the log(n) elements that are necessary to build the Merkle root and keeping the log(n) elements necessary to build a proof that a piece of data is in the Merkle tree.
func (*Tree) PushSubTree ¶
PushSubTree pushes a cached subtree into the merkle tree. The subtree has to be smaller than the smallest subtree in the merkle tree, it has to be balanced and it can't contain the element that needs to be proven. Since we can't tell if a subTree is balanced, we can't sanity check for unbalanced trees. Therefore an unbalanced tree will cause silent errors, pain and misery for the person who wants to debug the resulting error.
func (*Tree) ReadAll ¶
ReadAll will read segments of size 'segmentSize' and push them into the tree until EOF is reached. Success will return 'err == nil', not 'err == EOF'. No padding is added to the data, so the last element may be smaller than 'segmentSize'.
