Document general attacks on privacy and security #565

Description

@ariard

We should add a SECURITY.md exposing all privacy/security issues while implementing a lightning client and requirement to mitigate them.

To mention:

  • payment_secretsecure randomness
  • broadcasting interface privacy leaks (end-goal is to internalize it but right now it's up to the user)
  • ChainWatchInterface and chain backend security tradeoffs
  • utxo pool size/population when CPFP
  • channel parameters value (congestion, dust inflation)
  • watchtower integration
  • key interface and key management
  • ChannelMonitor consistency and storage

                              Document general attacks on privacy and security #565

                              Description

                              @ariard

                              We should add a SECURITY.md exposing all privacy/security issues while implementing a lightning client and requirement to mitigate them.

                              To mention:

                              • payment_secretsecure randomness
                              • broadcasting interface privacy leaks (end-goal is to internalize it but right now it's up to the user)
                              • ChainWatchInterface and chain backend security tradeoffs
                              • utxo pool size/population when CPFP
                              • channel parameters value (congestion, dust inflation)
                              • watchtower integration
                              • key interface and key management
                              • ChannelMonitor consistency and storage
