Hi,

Is there any code I can reference that implements validating Merkle consistency proofs?

Sincerely,
Winston de Greef

Hi Winston,

https://github.com/transparency-dev/merkle implements a bunch of operations on Merkle Trees, including verifying consistency proofs. You can see it being used by an RFC6962 CT client here, and by a static-ct-api client here.

Cheers,
Philippe

Winston, you also might find the expanded text on consistency proofs in RFC 9162 helpful: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9162.html#name-merkle-consistency-proofs
