merkle_tree_stream

A stream that generates a merkle tree based on the incoming data. Port of mafintosh/merkle-tree-stream

• Documentation

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     merkle_tree_stream:
       github: dukeraphaelng/merkle_tree_stream

2. Run shards install

Usage

Merkle Tree Stream is a stateful algorithm class that takes data in, hashes it, and computes as many parent hashes as it can through dukeraphaelng/flat_tree - this is done through the .next method, which keeps track of three properties:

• blocks: an index to keep track of how far along in the sequence we are.
• nodes: a vector of hashes
• roots: the current roots.

require "merkle_tree_stream"

leaf = Proc(MerkleTree::Node, Array(MerkleTree::Node)?, Bytes).new do |node, roots|
  Digest::SHA256.digest(node.data)
end

parent = Proc(MerkleTree::Node, MerkleTree::Node, Bytes).new do |left, right|
  Digest::SHA256.digest do |ctx|
    ctx.update left.data
    ctx.update right.data
  end
end

merkle = MerkleTree::Stream.new(leaf, parent)
nodes = [] of MerkleTree::Node
merkle.next("a".to_slice, nodes)
merkle.next("b".to_slice, nodes)
puts {nodes: nodes}

MerkleTree::Node Instance Variables:

• index: tree node index, even numbers are data nodes
• parent: tree node's parent node's index
• hash: tree node's hash
• size: tree node's data size
• data: tree node's raw data
