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

To mention:

  • payment_secret secure 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
