All Known Implementing Classes:

BinaryTreeRootCalculator

public interface ERSRootNodeCalculator

Base interface for an implementation that calculates the root hash contained in the time-stamp from the Merkle tree based on the partial hash-tree nodes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree[]	computePathToRoot(DigestCalculator digCalc, org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree node, int index) Calculate a path from the leaf node to the root of the last computed Merkle tree.
byte[]	computeRootHash(DigestCalculator digCalc, org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree[] nodes) Calculate the root hash of the Merkle tree from the partial hash-tree nodes.
byte[]	recoverRootHash(DigestCalculator digCalc, org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree[] nodes) Recover the root hash from a path made up of PartialHashtrees.

Method Detail

computeRootHash

byte[] computeRootHash(DigestCalculator digCalc,
                       org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree[] nodes)

Calculate the root hash of the Merkle tree from the partial hash-tree nodes.

Parameters:

digCalc - the digest calculator to use.

nodes - the partial hash-trees forming the basis of the Merkle tree.

Returns:

the root hash of the Merkle tree.

computePathToRoot

org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree[] computePathToRoot(DigestCalculator digCalc,
                                                              org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree node,
                                                              int index)

Calculate a path from the leaf node to the root of the last computed Merkle tree.

Parameters:

digCalc - the digest calculator to use.

node - the leaf node at the start of the path.

index - the index of the node in the original list of partial hash trees.

Returns:

recoverRootHash

byte[] recoverRootHash(DigestCalculator digCalc,
                       org.bouncycastle.asn1.tsp.PartialHashtree[] nodes)

Recover the root hash from a path made up of PartialHashtrees.

Parameters:

digCalc - the digest calculator to use.

nodes - the partial hash-trees forming a path from a leaf to the root of the Merkle tree.

Returns:

the root hash of the Merkle tree.
