Area Of Science
- Computer Science
- Cybersecurity
- Game Development
Background
- Widespread cheating poses a significant threat to the multibillion-dollar multiplayer online video game industry.
- Compromising game security for performance increases vulnerability to malicious exploitation.
- Existing alternative security sensors are often intrusive and resource-intensive.
Purpose Of The Study
- To introduce the Trust-Verify Game Protocol (TVGP), a novel sensor protocol.
- To provide game state information for behavior-based cheat detection schemes in low-trust environments.
- To address the security challenges in real-time online multiplayer games.
Main Methods
- Development of the Trust-Verify Game Protocol (TVGP).
- Implementation of a framework to supply game state information to trusted third-party referees.
- Validation testing of TVGP under specific operational domain assumptions.
Main Results
- TVGP demonstrates high efficiency and performance standards.
- The protocol effectively supports behavior-based cheat-sensing detection schemes.
- Experimental results validate the protocol's suitability for demanding performance requirements.
Conclusions
- TVGP is an effective solution for implementing independent trusted referee capabilities in environments with low trust.
- The protocol meets high-performance demands crucial for real-time online gaming security.
- TVGP mitigates risks associated with compromised game security and intrusive sensors.
