Merkle_Tree

Simple self-balancing Merkle Tree implementation on C++

It uses for hashing PicoSHA2

Build

To build the program in the main directory

$ make

To run the example

On the main directory

$ ./mtree

This will give the hash result of creating a Merkle Tree with the input

"The quick" + "brown fox" + "jumps" + "over the" + "lazy dog"

To run the test

First you need to compile the test with the next line from the main directory. This uses Google Test

$ g++ -Igoogletest-release-1.8.0/googletest/include -Isrc -pthread docs/MerkleTreeTest.cpp src/merkle_tree.cpp googletest-release-1.8.0/libgtest.a -o docs/tests

Then run the test

$ ./docs/tests

This will give the result of the hash as the example provided by PicoSHA2 for the string ""The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog""
