ETH 2.0 progress: the audit report revealed two security vulnerabilities, and the team is working on a long-term solution

Rhythm BlockBeats news, a recent audit report on ETH 2.0 specification, according to the agreement of the P2P messaging system and block submission system security loophole, co-founder of the etheric fang Vitalik Buterin said that the team are studying the long-term solution of these problems, and expects to have more client test network is likely to start running in April.

According to Buterin, the release of the multi-client test network must precede the long-awaited phase 0 release of the main network, which is likely to begin in April.

The ETH 2.0 specification was recently audited by technology security firm Least Authority, which highlighted protocol peer-to-peer messaging systems and block-proposal systems as two areas of potential security vulnerabilities.

According to Buterin, this problem also exists in the existing ETH 1.0 framework and has only eased over time. He expects the same thing to happen with ETH 2.0. "Overall, we definitely take both of these issues seriously," Buterin said. "Eth1 has taken some time to strengthen its network layer, and there are a lot of concerns about network issues at the moment, so I expect the DoS issue to ease over time."

The second security breach identified in the report is a potential breach of information about ETH 2.0's block delivery system. V says the team is taking the Least Authority proposal seriously. In fact, SSLE is one of the team's main research priorities right now and has been incorporated into ETH 2.0's 5-10 year roadmap. According to the roadmap, the SSLE system will be implemented in phase 2 or later.

V says: "the best way to think about when to start the main network in phase 0 is first we need a multi-client test network, then we wait for the test network to run for a while to see if there are any problems, and then we start when everything is ready." "This is similar to what we did for eth1 in 2015."
