Description
What is this talk about?
The threat of channel "jamming" attacks against the lightning network has been known and discussed since 2015. This problem has remained unsolved despite eight years of on-and-off discussion on the lightning mailing list. Addressing this trivially inexpensive denial of service attack against the network is vital to ensuring the long-term success of lightning.
This talk will cover the implementation details of a hybrid proposal to mitigate channel jamming, as originally outlined by Clara Shikhelman and Sergei Tikhomirov. It will justify the combination of local reputation tracking and unconditional fees as a hybrid approach to mitigating jamming attacks against the lightning network and provide implementation details of the ongoing work to specify this mitigation in the BOLTs.
What would an attendee learn from this talk?
Is there anything folks should read up on before they attend this talk?
Attendees should have a basic understanding of the way that the Lightning Network operates (channels, routing and HTLCs) and familiarize themselves with the concept of channel jamming attacks. For details of the solution proposed, see the original research paper.
