Struct ExistenceProof

pub struct ExistenceProof {
    pub key: Vec<u8>,
    pub value: Vec<u8>,
    pub leaf: Option<LeafOp>,
    pub path: Vec<InnerOp>,
}

ExistenceProof takes a key and a value and a set of steps to perform on it. The result of peforming all these steps will provide a “root hash”, which can be compared to the value in a header.

Since it is computationally infeasible to produce a hash collission for any of the used cryptographic hash functions, if someone can provide a series of operations to transform a given key and value into a root hash that matches some trusted root, these key and values must be in the referenced merkle tree.

The only possible issue is maliablity in LeafOp, such as providing extra prefix data, which should be controlled by a spec. Eg. with lengthOp as NONE, prefix = FOO, key = BAR, value = CHOICE and prefix = F, key = OOBAR, value = CHOICE would produce the same value.

With LengthOp this is tricker but not impossible. Which is why the “leafPrefixEqual” field in the ProofSpec is valuable to prevent this mutability. And why all trees should length-prefix the data before hashing it.

Fields

key: Vec<u8>

value: Vec<u8>

leaf: Option<LeafOp>

path: Vec<InnerOp>

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ExistenceProof

fn clone(&self) -> ExistenceProof

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ExistenceProof

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for ExistenceProof

fn default() -> ExistenceProof

Returns the “default value” for a type.

fn deserialize<D>( deserializer: D, ) -> Result<ExistenceProof, <D as Deserializer<'de>>::Error>

where D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Message for ExistenceProof

fn encoded_len(&self) -> usize

Returns the encoded length of the message without a length delimiter.

fn clear(&mut self)

Clears the message, resetting all fields to their default.

fn encode(&self, buf: &mut impl BufMut) -> Result<(), EncodeError>

where Self: Sized,

Encodes the message to a buffer.

fn encode_to_vec(&self) -> Vec<u8>

where Self: Sized,

Encodes the message to a newly allocated buffer.

fn encode_length_delimited( &self, buf: &mut impl BufMut, ) -> Result<(), EncodeError>

where Self: Sized,

fn decode(buf: impl Buf) -> Result<Self, DecodeError>

where Self: Default,

Decodes an instance of the message from a buffer.

fn decode_length_delimited(buf: impl Buf) -> Result<Self, DecodeError>

impl PartialEq for ExistenceProof

fn eq(&self, other: &ExistenceProof) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool
