Crate balanced_tree_index

Defines an interface for a type that represents an index into a memory-mapped complete balanced binary tree.

The operations that we define mostly help with finding parents or common ancestors in the tree structure.

This type is usually u32 or u64, and these operations are usually performed using bit-twiddling tricks. Coding against this API means that people reading ORAM code don’t necessarily have to understand all the bit-twiddling tricks.

Structs

Traits

TreeIndex
