pub async fn check_consistency_proof(

prev_size: u64,

) -> Result<Vec<ConsistencyProofPart>, Error>Expand description
Fetch the consistency proof from prev_size to next_size from the server and
verifies it, returning a Vec<ConsistencyProofPart> if successful, which can later be
used to verify the integrity of certificates downloaded from the server
later. An Err(...) is returned if the proof is invalid, or some network
error happened during the request.
§Ok(Vec<ConsistencyProofPart>)
The Ok result of this function contains all components of the proof which
describes a new tree (that’s not in the previous tree). This can be useful if
you want to then get all the new certificates and verify that those forms the
new tree.
To do this, calculate the leaf hash of all the new certificates, and call
ConsistencyProofPart::verify with the array of leaf hashes. See its
documentation for more info.
