package elkrem import ( "fmt" "github.com/roasbeef/btcd/wire" ) /* elkrem is a simpler alternative to the 64 dimensional sha-chain. it's basically a reverse merkle tree. If we want to provide 2**64 possible hashes, this requires a worst case computation of 63 hashes for the sender, and worst-case storage of 64 hashes for the receiver. The operations are left hash L() and right hash R(), which are hash(parent) and hash(parent, 1) respectively. (concatenate one byte) Here is a shorter example of a tree with 8 leaves and 15 total nodes. The sender first computes the bottom left leaf 0b0000. This is L(L(L(L(root)))). The receiver stores leaf 0. Next the sender computes 0b0001. R(L(L(L(root)))). Receiver stores. Next sender computes 0b1000 (8). L(L(L(root))). Receiver stores this, and discards leaves 0b0000 and 0b0001, as they have the parent node 8. For total hashes (2**h)-1 requires a tree of height h. Sender: as state, must store 1 hash (root) and that's all generate any index, compute at most h hashes. Receiver: as state, must store at most h+1 hashes and the index of each hash (h*(h+1)) bits to compute a previous index, compute at most h hashes. */ const maxIndex = uint64(281474976710654) // 2^48 - 2 const maxHeight = uint8(47) // You can calculate h from i but I can't figure out how without taking // O(i) ops.
