Trillian is an implementation of the concepts described in the
|
|
Verifiable Data Structures white paper, which in turn is an extension
|
|
and generalisation of the ideas which underpin Certificate Transparency.
|
|
|
|
Trillian implements a Merkle tree whose contents are served from a data
|
|
storage layer, to allow scalability to extremely large trees. On top of
|
|
this Merkle tree, Trillian provides the following:
|
|
|
|
- An append-only Log mode, analogous to the original Certificate
|
|
Transparency logs. In this mode, the Merkle tree is effectively filled
|
|
up from the left, giving a dense Merkle tree.
|
|
|
|
Note that Trillian requires particular applications to provide their own
|
|
personalities on top of the core transparent data store functionality.
