<h1>Transaction tear-offs<a class="headerlink" href="#transaction-tear-offs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>One of the basic data structures in our platform is a transaction. It can be passed around to be signed and verified,
|
||
also by third parties. The construction of transactions assumes that they form a whole entity with input and output states,
|
||
commands and attachments inside. However all sensitive data shouldn’t be revealed to other nodes that take part in
|
||
the creation of transaction on validation level (a good example of this situation is the Oracle which validates only
|
||
embedded commands). How to achive it in a way that convinces the other party the data they got for signing really did form
|
||
a part of the transaction?</p>
|
||
<p>We decided to use well known and described cryptographic scheme to provide proofs of inclusion and data integrity.
|
||
Merkle trees are widely used in peer-to-peer networks, blockchain systems and git.
|
||
You can read more on the concept <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree">here</a>.</p>
|
||
<div class="section" id="merkle-trees-in-corda">
|
||
<h2>Merkle trees in Corda<a class="headerlink" href="#merkle-trees-in-corda" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Transactions are split into leaves, each of them contains either input, output, command or attachment. Other fields like
|
||
timestamp or signers are not used in the calculation.
|
||
Next, the Merkle tree is built in the normal way by hashing the concatenation
|
||
of nodes’ hashes below the current one together. It’s visible on the example image below, where <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">H</span></code> denotes sha256 function,
|
||
“+” - concatenation.</p>
|
||
<img alt="_images/merkleTree.png" src="_images/merkleTree.png" />
|
||
<p>The transaction has one input state, one output and three commands. If a tree is not a full binary tree, the rightmost nodes are
|
||
duplicated in hash calculation (dotted lines).</p>
|
||
<p>Finally, the hash of the root is the identifier of the transaction, it’s also used for signing and verification of data integrity.
|
||
Every change in transaction on a leaf level will change its identifier.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="hiding-data">
|
||
<h2>Hiding data<a class="headerlink" href="#hiding-data" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Hiding data and providing the proof that it formed a part of a transaction is done by constructing Partial Merkle Trees
|
||
(or Merkle branches). A Merkle branch is a set of hashes, that given the leaves’ data, is used to calculate the root’s hash.
|
||
Then that hash is compared with the hash of a whole transaction and if they match it means that data we obtained belongs
|
||
to that particular transaction.</p>
|
||
<img alt="_images/partialMerkle.png" src="_images/partialMerkle.png" />
|
||
<p>In the example above, the red node is the one holding data for signing Oracle service. Blue nodes’ hashes form the Partial Merkle
|
||
Tree, dotted ones are not included. Having the command that should be in a red node place and branch we are able to calculate
|
||
root of this tree and compare it with original transaction identifier - we have a proof that this command belongs to this transaction.</p>

<div class="section" id="example-of-usage">
|
||
<h2>Example of usage<a class="headerlink" href="#example-of-usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Let’s focus on a code example. We want to construct a transaction with commands containing interest rate fix data as in:
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="oracles.html"><span class="doc">Writing oracle services</span></a>.
|
||
After construction of a partial transaction, with included <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Fix</span></code> commands in it, we want to send it to the Oracle for checking
|
||
and signing. To do so we need to specify which parts of the transaction are going to be revealed. That can be done by constructing
|
||
filtering functions for inputs, outputs, attachments and commands separately. If a function is not provided by default none
|
||
of the elements from this group will be included in a Partial Merkle Tree.</p>

<p>Assuming that we already assembled partialTx with some commands and know the identity of Oracle service,

we pass filtering function over commands - <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filterCommands</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FilterFuns</span></code>. It filters only

commands of type <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Fix</span></code> as in IRSDemo example. Then we can construct <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FilteredTransaction</span></code>:</p>

<p class="last">The way the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FilteredTransaction</span></code> is constructed ensures that after signing of the root hash it’s impossible to add or remove
|
||
leaves. However, it can happen that having transaction with multiple commands one party reveals only subset of them to the Oracle.
|
||
As signing is done now over the merkle root hash, the service signs all commands of given type, even though it didn’t see
|
||
all of them. This issue will be handled after implementing partial signatures.</p>
