Compression of content paths in a digital certificate

摘要

An example method of compressing a set of content paths includes identifying a set of content paths associated with a client. The method also includes determining a condensed path tree expressing the set of content paths. The method further includes determining a path node tree including a set of path nodes. Each path node of the set of path nodes represents from the condensed path tree a connector node including one or more segment strings as a name and one or more nodes referenced by the connector node. The method also includes encoding, based on a frequency of appearance of a segment string as a name in the set of path nodes, the set of content paths. The method further includes compressing the set of content paths. The method also includes providing a digital certificate including the compressed and encoded set of content paths.

1. A system for compressing content paths, the system comprising:
a content path module that identifies a set of content paths associated with a client, wherein each content path of the set of content paths includes a set of segment strings that is hierarchically structured; a path tree module that determines a condensed path tree expressing the set of content paths and that determines a path node tree including a set of path nodes, wherein each path node of the set of path nodes represents a connector node, and wherein the connector node includes one or more segment strings as a name and one or more references to one or more path nodes; an encode module that encodes, based on a frequency of appearance of a segment string as a name in the set of path nodes, the set of content paths; a compress module that compresses the set of content paths; and a certificate module that provides a digital certificate including the compressed and encoded set of content paths.
