Module tlsn_core::merkle

Merkle tree types.

Usage

During notarization, the Prover generates various commitments to the transcript data, which are subsequently inserted into a MerkleTree. Rather than send each commitment to the Notary individually, the Prover simply sends the MerkleRoot. This hides the number of commitments from the Notary, which is important for privacy as it can leak information about the content of the transcript.

Later, during selective disclosure to a Verifier, the Prover can open any subset of the commitments in the MerkleTree by providing a MerkleProof for the corresponding MerkleRoot which was signed by the Notary.
