Parity Technologies engages Trail of Bits

Summary: Trail of Bits is auditing Parity Technologies' Ethereum client, starting with the beta branch and its corresponding jsonrpc library over the next few weeks. The review covers Parity's key generation and storage, the RPCs that use private keys and handle permissions, and an assortment of smart contracts, with results to be published afterward.
What you should know: The audit targets the private-key handling and permission RPCs in a client built for foundational use in enterprise environments, so the findings bear directly on whether organizations can trust that client with the keys that control their blockchain assets.
