N2 - A suffix tree, which provides us with a linear space full-text index of a given string, is a fundamental data structure for string processing and information retrieval. In this paper we consider the reverse engineering problem on suffix trees: Given an unlabeled ordered rooted tree T accompanied with a node-to-node transition function f, infer a string whose suffix tree and its suffix links for inner nodes are isomorphic to T and f, respectively. By introducing new characterizations of suffix trees, we show that the reverse engineering problem on suffix trees on a binary alphabet can be solved in linear time in the input size.
