Antoine Riard believes the Bitcoin community faces a “hard dilemma” as a new class of replacement cycling attacks threatens the Lightning Network.

Security scientist and designer Antoine Riard is venturing down from the Lightning Organization’s improvement group, refering to security issues and principal difficulties to the Bitcoin environment.

As per a string on the Linux Establishment’s public mailing list, Riard accepts the Bitcoin people group faces a “hard issue” as another class of substitution cycling assaults places Lightning in a “dangerous position.”

The Lightning Organization is the second-layer arrangement worked over the Bitcoin blockchain. Working on the versatility and proficiency of Bitcoin is planned

exchanges by empowering off-chain, distributed exchanges.

Through the Lightning Organization, clients can open installment channels, manage different exchanges off-chain and settle the end-product on the Bitcoin blockchain. The substitution cycling assault focuses on these installment channels. Another sort of assault permits the assailant to take assets from a channel member by taking advantage of irregularities between individual mempools. As per Riard:

“I think this new class of replacement cycling attacks puts lightning in a very perilous position, where only a sustainable fix can happen at the base-layer, e.g adding a memory-intensive history of all-seen transactions or some consensus upgrade. Deployed mitigations are worth something in face of simple attacks, though I don’t think they’re stopping advanced attackers as said in the first full disclosure mail.“

Riard also noted that addressing the new type of attack may require changes to the underlying Bitcoin network:

“Those types of changes are the ones necessitating the utmost transparency and buy-in of the community as a whole, as we’re altering the full-nodes processing requirements or the security architecture of the decentralized bitcoin ecosystem in its integrality.

Lightning engineers wrestle with difficulties, including reactions encompassing the organization’s intricacy and the requests put on client experience. Since its origin in 2018, the layer-2 organization has acquired ubiquity, with an all out esteem locked coming to $159.5 million at the hour of composing, as per information from DefiLlama. Notwithstanding, this figure is still extremely unobtrusive when contrasted with Bitcoin’s $587 billion market capitalization.

Riard plans to zero in now on Bitcoin center turn of events, yet cautioned about impending difficulties for the significant digital money biological system:

“On the other hand fully explaining why such changes would be warranted for the sake of lightning and for designing them well, we might need to lay out in complete state practical and critical attacks on a ~5 355 public BTC ecosystem. Hard dilemma. There might be a lesson in terms of bitcoin protocol deployment […]”
