1. A method for analyzing a data stream, the method comprising:

  • receiving, from a prover configured to process the data stream, a first data block and a sibling data block, wherein the first data block and the sibling data block are associated with a first level of a binary tree of hash values;

    calculating a current hash value using the first data block, the sibling data block, and a first random number; and

    processing a next level in the binary tree, wherein the processing of the next level in the binary tree comprises;

    sending, to the prover, a current random number and a request for a sibling hash value, wherein the sibling hash value is a sibling of the current hash value;

    receiving the sibling hash value;

    determining a subsequent random number; and

    calculating a subsequent hash value using the current hash value, the sibling hash value, and the subsequent random number.
