@ -569,7 +569,7 @@ The onion routing protocol used in Lightning has the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
. The encryption of the onion for every hop uses different ephemeral encryption keys. Should a key (in particular the private key of a node) leak at some point in time an attacker cannot decrypt them. In simpler terms, keys are never reused in order to achieve more security.
|
||||
|
||||
. Errors can be sent back from the erring node to the original sender, using the same onion routed protocol. Error onions are indistinguishable from routing onions to external observers and intermediary nodes. Error routing enables the trial-and-error "probing" method used to find a path that has sufficient capacity to successfuly route a payment.
