A hash tree or merkle tree is a tree in which every leaf node is labelled
|
||
|
with the hash of a data block and every non-leaf node is labelled with the
|
||
|
cryptographic hash of the labels of its child nodes. Merkle trees in Dat
|
||
|
are specialized `flat trees`\_ that contain the content of the archives.
