As an administrative user, I would like to be assured that my local content hashes are intact, so I know they form part of the advertised Merkle Root.
Background
Chainpoint, like Bitcoin, makes use of a Merkle Tree, the root of which is stored as part of a Bitcoin transaction approximately every hour. There is no easy, user-friendly means to calculate that any hash is part of a tree with a given root, besides going through a Chainpoint node.
In addition to the unidirectional tree used in version 1.0 of this module, we can use the same underlying library to quickly take a user inputted hash and generate its merkle root in accordance with a chainpoint receipt. Users should be able to determine that a false or modified hash does not hash to the same root value.
