ChargeTo

ChargeTo describes the user(s) associated with the request whose quota should be checked and charged.

Field Type Label Description
user string repeated user is a list of personality-defined strings. Trillian will treat them as /User/%{user}/... keys when checking and charging quota. If one or more of the specified users has insufficient quota, the request will be denied.

As an example, a Certificate Transparency frontend might set the following user strings when sending a QueueLeaves request to the Trillian log: - The requesting IP address. This would limit the number of requests per IP. - The "intermediate-<hash>" for each of the intermediate certificates in the submitted chain. This would have the effect of limiting the rate of submissions under a given intermediate/root. |

LogLeaf

LogLeaf describes a leaf in the Log's Merkle tree, corresponding to a single log entry. Each leaf has a unique leaf index in the scope of this tree. Clients submitting new leaf entries should only set the following fields:

  • leaf_value
  • extra_data (optionally)
  • leaf_identity_hash (optionally)
  • leaf_index (iff the log is a PREORDERED_LOG)
Field Type Label Description
merkle_leaf_hash bytes merkle_leaf_hash holds the Merkle leaf hash over leaf_value. This is calculated by the Trillian server when leaves are added to the tree, using the defined hashing algorithm and strategy for the tree; as such, the client does not need to set it on leaf submissions.
leaf_value bytes leaf_value holds the data that forms the value of the Merkle tree leaf. The client should set this field on all leaf submissions, and is responsible for ensuring its validity (the Trillian server treats it as an opaque blob).
extra_data bytes extra_data holds additional data associated with the Merkle tree leaf. The client may set this data on leaf submissions, and the Trillian server will return it on subsequent read operations. However, the contents of this field are not covered by and do not affect the Merkle tree hash calculations.
leaf_index int64 leaf_index indicates the index of this leaf in the Merkle tree. This field is returned on all read operations, but should only be set for leaf submissions in PREORDERED_LOG mode (for a normal log the leaf index is assigned by Trillian when the submitted leaf is integrated into the Merkle tree).
leaf_identity_hash bytes leaf_identity_hash provides a hash value that indicates the client's concept of which leaf entries should be considered identical.

This mechanism allows the client personality to indicate that two leaves should be considered "duplicates" even though their leaf_values differ.

If this is not set on leaf submissions, the Trillian server will take its value to be the same as merkle_leaf_hash (and thus only leaves with identical leaf_value contents will be considered identical).

For example, in Certificate Transparency each certificate submission is associated with a submission timestamp, but subsequent submissions of the same certificate should be considered identical. This is achieved by setting the leaf identity hash to a hash over (just) the certificate, whereas the Merkle leaf hash encompasses both the certificate and its submission time -- allowing duplicate certificates to be detected.

Continuing the CT example, for a CT mirror personality (which must allow dupes since the source log could contain them), the part of the personality which fetches and submits the entries might set leaf_identity_hash to H(leaf_index||cert).

TODO(pavelkalinnikov): Consider instead using H(cert) and allowing identity hash dupes in PREORDERED_LOG mode, for it can later be upgraded to LOG which will need to correctly detect duplicates with older entries when new ones get queued. | | queue_timestamp | google.protobuf.Timestamp | | queue_timestamp holds the time at which this leaf was queued for inclusion in the Log, or zero if the entry was submitted without queuing. Clients should not set this field on submissions. | | integrate_timestamp | google.protobuf.Timestamp | | integrate_timestamp holds the time at which this leaf was integrated into the tree. Clients should not set this field on submissions. |

Proof

Proof holds a consistency or inclusion proof for a Merkle tree, as returned by the API.

Field Type Label Description
leaf_index int64 leaf_index indicates the requested leaf index when this message is used for a leaf inclusion proof. This field is set to zero when this message is used for a consistency proof.

QueuedLogLeaf

QueuedLogLeaf provides the result of submitting an entry to the log. TODO(pavelkalinnikov): Consider renaming it to AddLogLeafResult or the like.

Field Type Label Description
leaf LogLeaf The leaf as it was stored by Trillian. Empty unless status.code is: - google.rpc.OK: the leaf data is the same as in the request. - google.rpc.ALREADY_EXISTS or 'google.rpc.FAILED_PRECONDITION: the leaf` is the conflicting one already in the log.
status google.rpc.Status The status of adding the leaf. - google.rpc.OK: successfully added. - google.rpc.ALREADY_EXISTS: the leaf is a duplicate of an already existing one. Either leaf_identity_hash is the same in the LOG mode, or leaf_index in the PREORDERED_LOG. - google.rpc.FAILED_PRECONDITION: A conflicting entry is already present in the log, e.g., same leaf_index but different leaf_data.

TrillianLog

The TrillianLog service provides access to an append-only Log data structure as described in the Verifiable Data Structures paper.

The API supports adding new entries to the Merkle tree for a specific Log instance (identified by its log_id) in two modes:

  • For a normal log, new leaf entries are queued up for subsequent inclusion in the log, and the leaves are assigned consecutive leaf_index values as part of that integration process.
  • For a 'pre-ordered log', new entries have an already-defined leaf ordering, and leaves are only integrated into the Merkle tree when a contiguous range of leaves is available.

The API also supports read operations to retrieve leaf contents, and to provide cryptographic proofs of leaf inclusion and of the append-only nature of the Log.

Each API request also includes a charge_to field, which allows API users to provide quota identifiers that should be "charged" for each API request (and potentially rejected with codes.ResourceExhausted).

Various operations on the API also allows for 'server skew', which can occur when different API requests happen to be handled by different server instances that may not all be up to date. An API request that is relative to a specific tree size may reach a server instance that is not yet aware of this tree size; in this case the server will typically return an OK response that contains:

  • a signed log root that indicates the tree size that it is aware of
  • an empty response otherwise.
Method Name Request Type Response Type Description
QueueLeaf QueueLeafRequest QueueLeafResponse QueueLeaf adds a single leaf to the queue of pending leaves for a normal log.

MapLeaf

MapLeaf represents the data behind Map leaves.

Field Type Label Description
index bytes index is the location of this leaf. All indexes for a given Map must contain a constant number of bits. These are not numeric indices. Note that this is typically derived using a hash and thus the length of all indices in the map will match the number of bits in the hash function.
leaf_hash bytes leaf_hash is the tree hash of leaf_value. This does not need to be set on SetMapLeavesRequest; the server will fill it in. For an empty leaf (len(leaf_value)==0), there may be two possible values for this hash: - If the leaf has never been set, it counts as an empty subtree and a nil value is used. - If the leaf has been explicitly set to a zero-length entry, it no longer counts as empty and the value of hasher.HashLeaf(index, nil) will be used.
leaf_value bytes leaf_value is the data the tree commits to.
extra_data bytes extra_data holds related contextual data, but is not covered by any hash.

MapLeafInclusion

Field Type Label Description
leaf MapLeaf
inclusion bytes repeated inclusion holds the inclusion proof for this leaf in the map root. It holds one entry for each level of the tree; combining each of these in turn with the leaf's hash (according to the tree's hash strategy) reproduces the root hash. A nil entry for a particular level indicates that the node in question has an empty subtree beneath it (and so its associated hash value is hasher.HashEmpty(index, height) rather than hasher.HashChildren(l_hash, r_hash)).

WriteMapLeavesRequest

Field Type Label Description
map_id int64
leaves MapLeaf repeated The leaves being set must have unique Index values within the request.
metadata bytes Metadata that the Map should associate with the new Map root after incorporating the leaf changes. The metadata will be reflected in the Map Root published for this revision. Map personalities should use metadata to persist any state needed later to continue mapping from an external data source.
expect_revision int64 The map revision to associate the leaves with. The request will fail if this revision already exists, does not match the current write revision, or is negative. If revision = 0 then the leaves will be written to the current write revision.

WriteMapLeavesResponse

Field Type Label Description
revision int64 The map revision that the leaves will be published at. This may be accompanied by a proof that the write request has been included in an input log in the future.

TrillianMap

TrillianMap defines a service which provides access to a Verifiable Map as defined in the Verifiable Data Structures paper.

TrillianMapWrite

TrillianMapWrite defines a service to allow writes against a Verifiable Map that will be readable via the TrillianMap service. The write API does not expose any Merkle Tree properties. This allows key/value writes to be decoupled from the Merkle Tree synthesis and publishing.

SignedEntryTimestamp

Field Type Label Description
timestamp_nanos int64
log_id int64
signature sigpb.DigitallySigned

SignedLogRoot

SignedLogRoot represents a commitment by a Log to a particular tree.

Field Type Label Description
key_hint bytes key_hint is a hint to identify the public key for signature verification. key_hint is not authenticated and may be incorrect or missing, in which case all known public keys may be used to verify the signature. When directly communicating with a Trillian gRPC server, the key_hint will typically contain the LogID encoded as a big-endian 64-bit integer; however, in other contexts the key_hint is likely to have different contents (e.g. it could be a GUID, a URL + TreeID, or it could be derived from the public key itself).
log_root bytes log_root holds the TLS-serialization of the following structure (described in RFC5246 notation): Clients should validate log_root_signature with VerifySignedLogRoot before deserializing log_root. enum { v1(1), (65535)} Version; struct { uint64 tree_size; opaque root_hash<0..128>; uint64 timestamp_nanos; uint64 revision; opaque metadata<0..65535>; } LogRootV1; struct { Version version; select(version) { case v1: LogRootV1; } } LogRoot;

A serialized v1 log root will therefore be laid out as:

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+-....--+ | ver=1 | tree_size |len| root_hashlen | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+-....--+

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | timestamp_nanos | revision | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

+---+---+---+---+---+-....---+ | len | metadata | +---+---+---+---+---+-....---+

(with all integers encoded big-endian). | | log_root_signature | bytes | | log_root_signature is the raw signature over log_root. |

SignedMapRoot

SignedMapRoot represents a commitment by a Map to a particular tree.

Field Type Label Description
map_root bytes map_root holds the TLS-serialization of the following structure (described in RFC5246 notation): Clients should validate signature with VerifySignedMapRoot before deserializing map_root. enum { v1(1), (65535)} Version; struct { opaque root_hash<0..128>; uint64 timestamp_nanos; uint64 revision; opaque metadata<0..65535>; } MapRootV1; struct { Version version; select(version) { case v1: MapRootV1; } } MapRoot;
signature bytes Signature is the raw signature over MapRoot.

Tree

Represents a tree, which may be either a verifiable log or map. Readonly attributes are assigned at tree creation, after which they may not be modified.

Note: Many APIs within the rest of the code require these objects to be provided. For safety they should be obtained via Admin API calls and not created dynamically.

Field Type Label Description
tree_id int64 ID of the tree. Readonly.
tree_state TreeState State of the tree. Trees are ACTIVE after creation. At any point the tree may transition between ACTIVE, DRAINING and FROZEN states.
tree_type TreeType Type of the tree. Readonly after Tree creation. Exception: Can be switched from PREORDERED_LOG to LOG if the Tree is and remains in the FROZEN state.
hash_strategy HashStrategy Hash strategy to be used by the tree. Readonly.
hash_algorithm sigpb.DigitallySigned.HashAlgorithm Hash algorithm to be used by the tree. Readonly.
signature_algorithm sigpb.DigitallySigned.SignatureAlgorithm Signature algorithm to be used by the tree. Readonly.
display_name string Display name of the tree. Optional.
description string Description of the tree, Optional.
private_key google.protobuf.Any Identifies the private key used for signing tree heads and entry timestamps. This can be any type of message to accommodate different key management systems, e.g. PEM files, HSMs, etc. Private keys are write-only: they're never returned by RPCs. The private_key message can be changed after a tree is created, but the underlying key must remain the same - this is to enable migrating a key from one provider to another.
storage_settings google.protobuf.Any Storage-specific settings. Varies according to the storage implementation backing Trillian.
public_key keyspb.PublicKey The public key used for verifying tree heads and entry timestamps. Readonly.
max_root_duration google.protobuf.Duration Interval after which a new signed root is produced even if there have been no submission. If zero, this behavior is disabled.
create_time google.protobuf.Timestamp Time of tree creation. Readonly.
update_time google.protobuf.Timestamp Time of last tree update. Readonly (automatically assigned on updates).
deleted bool If true, the tree has been deleted. Deleted trees may be undeleted during a certain time window, after which they're permanently deleted (and unrecoverable). Readonly.
delete_time google.protobuf.Timestamp Time of tree deletion, if any. Readonly.

HashStrategy

Defines the way empty / node / leaf hashes are constructed incorporating preimage protection, which can be application specific.

Name Number Description
UNKNOWN_HASH_STRATEGY 0 Hash strategy cannot be determined. Included to enable detection of mismatched proto versions being used. Represents an invalid value.
RFC6962_SHA256 1 Certificate Transparency strategy: leaf hash prefix = 0x00, node prefix = 0x01, empty hash is digest([]byte{}), as defined in the specification.
TEST_MAP_HASHER 2 Sparse Merkle Tree strategy: leaf hash prefix = 0x00, node prefix = 0x01, empty branch is recursively computed from empty leaf nodes. NOT secure in a multi tree environment. For testing only.
OBJECT_RFC6962_SHA256 3 Append-only log strategy where leaf nodes are defined as the ObjectHash. All other properties are equal to RFC6962_SHA256.
CONIKS_SHA512_256 4 The CONIKS sparse tree hasher with SHA512_256 as the hash algorithm.
CONIKS_SHA256 5 The CONIKS sparse tree hasher with SHA256 as the hash algorithm.
