Subject: [bitcoin-dev] MAST with OP_EVAL and OP_CAT
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:18:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <282c2912327370d30a0d341dcf1a6499@xbt.hk> (raw)
Inspired by Pieter's Tree Signatures, I believe Merkleized Abstract
Syntax Trees (MAST) could be implemented with only OP_CAT and OP_EVAL
(BIP12).
The idea is very simple. Using a similar example in Pieter's paper,
scriptSig = <sig> <serialized sub-script 10> Z1 0 1 1 X6 1 K9 0
<serialized script>
scriptPubKey = DUP HASH160 <hash serialized script> EQUALVERIFY EVAL
serialized script = 8 PICK SHA256 (SWAP IF SWAP ENDIF CAT SHA256)*4 <R>
EQUALVERIFY EVAL
This will run the 10-th sub-script, when there are 11 sub-scripts in the
MAST
I think this is the easiest way to enable MAST since the reference
implementation for BIP12 is already there. We could enable OP_CAT only
inside OP_EVAL so this will be a pure softfork.
