Secure event signature protocol for peer‐to‐peer massive multiplayer online games using bilinear pairing

Abstract

With the development of the Internet, multiplayer online games are rapidly replacing the traditional single-player games. The peer-to-peer architecture, which is suitable for massive multiplayer online games, is being considered as the replacement for traditional client-server architecture. Because the current solutions cannot prevent the cheating problems to gain unfair advantages in these games completely, we summarize the problems existing in some event signature protocols for peer-to-peer online games and propose a new secure event signature protocol. The security basis of the proposed protocol is the discrete logarithms and bilinear pairing. Our protocol provides higher security than some current protocols on secure event signature, although the efficiency of our protocol is lower than theirs.

A more efficient secure event signature protocol for massively multiplayer online games based on P2P

“…Later Li et al proposed another scheme to prevent the replay attack by adding a unique game session number, while the forgery attack still exits [15]. In 2013, Yuan et al proposed a new secure event signature protocol [16]. His protocol based on the discrete algorithms and bilinear pairing overcomes the forgery attack and replay attack, providing higher security service than other protocols introduced above.…”

The Effect of Digital Games and Game Strategies on Young Adolescents' Aggression

“…In the last decade, alongside the expansion of online communication, we face a change in the perception of the digital game, from one in which a single player competes against the computer, to one in which a dramatically growing number of players participate in social network games, or Mass Multiplayer Online Games (Yee, 2006;Yuan, Hu, Li, & Chu, 2013). For example, in December 2009, some 276 million people regularly played social network games on Facebook (App Leaderboard-Games in: Whon, Lee, Sung, & Bjurnrud, 2010).…”
