Abstract
A Merkle tree-based data management method may comprise: aligning data into two-dimensional square matrix; calculating a hash value of each node of the two-dimensional square matrix; calculating hash values of each row of the two-dimensional square matrix; generating an additional column with nodes having the hash values of each row; calculating hash values of each column of the two-dimensional square matrix; generating an additional row with nodes having hash values of each column; and calculating a Merkle root by concatenating the hash values of the additional column and the hash values of the additional row.
