# Description: This is a simple script that uses GNU Coreutils
# OpenTimestamps to generate a proof that permits a user to prove the
# existence of any individual file within a directory. A proof
# consists of:
#
#   - An OpenTimestamps 'ots' file (if '-t' option provided)
#
#   - Public proof: text file(s) containing a list of salted file
#     hashes.
#
#   - Private proof: text file(s) containing:
#
#     - A list of unsalted file hashes
#
#     - A list of nonces used to generate the list of salted file hashes.
#
#     - The list of salted file hashes
#
#     - File attributes (size, relative path)
#
#   The proof is produced by performing the following steps:
#
#   - Use 'find' and GNU Coreutils digest algorithms to create
#     numbered lists of file digests at specified directories.
#
#   - Save these numbered lists of digests into text files within a
#     proof directory.
#
#   - If more than one specified directory is provided also process
#     the files within the proof directory.
#
#   - Use OpenTimestamps to create an 'ots' timestamp file
#     for the final digest list file. (if '-t' option provided).
#
#   - Use OpenTimestamps to upgrade each 'ots' timestamp file after a
#     delay. (if '-w' option provided).
#
# Dependencies: coreutils, ots. See end of file
#
# Tested on:
#
#   - GNU/Linux Debian 10
