Counting Down Thunder: Timing Attacks on Privacy in Payment Channel Networks
> the privacy guarantees of the Lightning Network may be subverted by an on-path adversary conducting timing attacks on the HTLC state negotiation messages. To this end, we provide estimators that enable an adversary to reduce the anonymity set and infer the likeliest payment endpoints. We developed a proof-of-concept measurement node that shows the feasibility of attaining time differences and evaluate the adversarial success in model-based network simulations.
