Abstract
The present inventive concept provides for a method of verifying data using Merkle proof and root. The method includes organizing a dataset into a Merkle tree, the dataset including a plurality of data elements. A Merkle root is generated that represents the dataset organized into the Merkle tree. A generated Merkle proof is provided for a data element of the plurality of data elements, and it is determined whether the data element is included in the dataset using the Merkle root and the Merkle proof.
