merkle_tree v2.0.0 API Reference

A hash tree or Merkle tree is a tree in which every non-leaf node is labelled with the hash of the labels or values (in case of leaves) of its child nodes. Hash trees are useful because they allow efficient and secure verification of the contents of large data structures.

This module defines some cryptographic hash functions used to hash block contents.

This module implements a tree node abstraction.
