## Security concerns
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Collusion: part of the peer selection must be kept random. This avoids peers bringing all their friends and colluding against a beacon node.
|
|
|
|
|
- Denial-of-service: The beacon node must provide ways to handle burst of data that may come:
|
|
|
|
|
- from malicious nodes trying to DOS us
|
|
|
|
|
- from long periods of non-finality, creating lots of forks, attestations, forks
|
