CT Merkle

This is an implementation of the append-only log described in the Certificate Transparency specification (RFC 6962). The log is a Merkle tree, and its leaves are the items it contains.

The log has two important features:

1. Inclusion proofs. You can construct a succinct proof that a particular item appears in a given tree.
2. Consistency proofs. You can construct a succinct proof that one tree is a prefix of another tree, i.e., that tree #2 is the result of appending some number of items to the end of tree #1.

Crate Features

Default feature flags: none

Feature flag list:

• serde - Implements serde::Serialize and serde::Deserialize for: CtMerkleTree, RootHash, InclusionProof, and ConsistencyProof
• std - Implements std::error::Error for all the error types
