On the Routing Convergence Delay in the Lightning Network
Niklas Gögge, Elias Rohrer, Florian Tschorsch
Nodes in the Lightning Network synchronise routing information through a gossip protocol that makes use of a staggered broadcast mechanism. In this work, we show that the convergen…
On the Impact of Attachment Strategies for Payment Channel Networks
Kimberly Lange, Elias Rohrer, Florian Tschorsch
Payment channel networks, such as Bitcoin's Lightning Network, promise to improve the scalability of blockchain systems by processing the majority of transactions off-chain. Due to…
Counting Down Thunder: Timing Attacks on Privacy in Payment Channel Networks
Elias Rohrer, Florian Tschorsch
The Lightning Network is a scaling solution for Bitcoin that promises to enable rapid and private payment processing. In Lightning, multi-hop payments are secured by utilizing Hash…
Map-Z: Exposing the Zcash Network in Times of Transition
Erik Daniel, Elias Rohrer, Florian Tschorsch
Zcash is a privacy-preserving cryptocurrency that provides anonymous monetary transactions. While Zcash's anonymity is part of a rigorous scientific discussion, information on the…
Discharged Payment Channels: Quantifying the Lightning Network's Resilience to Topology-Based Attacks
Elias Rohrer, Julian Malliaris, Florian Tschorsch
The Lightning Network is the most widely used payment channel network (PCN) to date, making it an attractive attack surface for adversaries. In this paper, we analyze the Lightning…
Towards a Concurrent and Distributed Route Selection for Payment Channel Networks
Elias Rohrer, Jann-Frederik Laß, Florian Tschorsch
Payment channel networks use off-chain transactions to provide virtually arbitrary transaction rates. In this paper, we provide a new perspective on payment channels and consider t…
