Calculate merkle roots, build and verify proofs that data is in a
merkle tree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree).
.
Specifically, this package is designed to facilitate the generation and
verification of "Merkle proofs" — cryptographic proofs that a given subset
of data "belongs" to a larger set. BitTorrent, for example, requires
downloading many small pieces of a file from many untrusted peers; Merkle
proofs allow the downloader to verify that each piece is part of the full
file.
.
When sha256 is used as the hashing algorithm, the implementation matches
the merkle tree described in RFC 6962, 'Certificate Transparency'.
