Description : A transparent, highly scalable and cryptographically verifiable data store
Trillian is an implementation of the concepts described in the
Verifiable Data Structures (/docs/papers/VerifiableDataStructures.pdf)
white paper, which in turn is an extension and generalisation of the
ideas which underpin Certificate Transparency (https://certificate-
transparency.org).
.
Trillian implements a Merkle tree
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree) whose contents are served
from a data storage layer, to allow scalability to extremely large
trees. On top of this Merkle tree, Trillian provides the following:
.
* An append-only **Log** mode, analogous to the original
Certificate Transparency (https://certificate-transparency.org) logs.
In
this mode, the Merkle tree is effectively filled up from the left,
giving a
*dense* Merkle tree.
.
Certificate Transparency (CT) (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6962) is
the most well-known and widely deployed transparency application, and an
implementation of CT as a Trillian personality is available in the
certificate-transparency-go repo (https://github.com/google/certificate-
transparency-go/blob/master/trillian).
