Crate proof_of_history

A demo implementation of Proof of History, generic over the hashing implementation.

Modules

digest

This crate provides traits which describe functionality of cryptographic hash functions and Message Authentication algorithms.

Structs

Ticks

A simple wrapper around the tick function that stores the output of the previous tick and automatically supplies it to the tick function on each call to next or next_with_data.

Functions

tick

Computes a cryptographic hash of the given data using the specified digest algorithm. This pure function represents a tick operation in the proof of history.

ticks

Creates an infinite iterator that produces a continuous sequence of ticks. Each tick is generated based on the output of the previous tick, creating a chained hash sequence.

verify

Verifies the validity of a given sequence of ticks using parallel processing. This function checks if each tick correctly follows from its predecessor in the sequence.
