Welcome to Unit 9Security and Privacy
Now, we will discuss the privacy of the Lightning Network. We will examine what information is publicly available and compare Lightning's privacy strategies with those of the on-chain Bitcoin network. This unit will cover attacks developed against the Lightning Network, such as network probing and denial-of-service attacks, and will explore strategies for mitigating these risks. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
