Final Fantasy - Securing On-Line Gaming with Trusted Computing

摘要

On-line gaming has seen something of a popular explosion in recent years, and is rapidly becoming the predominant focus of many gaming platforms. Unfortunately, honesty is not a virtue favoured by all players in these networks. This paper proposes a Trusted Computing based security framework for gaming consoles that will be resilient to platform modification based cheating mechanisms. In addition to this, we propose a Trusted Computing based auction mechanism that can be used for auctioning in-game items.
