Low-Latency and Cheat-proof Event Ordering for Distributed Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a new protocol for ordering events in peer-to-peer games that is provably cheat-proof. We describe how we can optimize this protocol to react to changing delays and congestion in the network. We validate our protocol through simulations and demonstrate its feasibility as a real-time, interactive protocol. To our knowledge, this is the first peer-to-peer protocol that is both cheat-proof and maintains the low latency required by interactive, real-time games.

Event Ordering and Congestion Control for Distributed Multiplayer Games
Peer-to-peer, multiplayer games require secure event ordering, bounded latency between any two players, and a real-time transport protocol that includes congestion control. In the past, research has focused on solving one of these three issues, but has yet to address all of them in conjunction. In this paper, we design the NEO protocol to provide all three of these features in a fully-distribut...
متن کاملSemi-lock: An Efficient Cheat-Proof Synchronization Mechanism for Peer-to-Peer Game Systems
With more and more online game players having access to broadband Internet connections and high performance computers, peerto-peer architecture offers an attractive solution for online multiplayer game design. However, message synchronization and cheat proof are two major challenges in implementing a fully distributed peer-to-peer game system. In this paper, a novel scheme, called Semi-Lock, is...
متن کاملReducing Network Latency on Consistency Maintenance Algorithms in Distributed Network Games
Network latency and bandwidth are important factors in online games for satisfying users’ playability. On one hand, the development of networking technology enables the spread of broadband Internet connection, which is now common in developed counties. Therefore, the bandwidth problem is less significant than the network latency problems. On the other hand, due to the physical properties of dat...
متن کاملAn Efficient and Secure Event Signature (EASES) Protocol for Peer-to-Peer Massively Multiplayer Online Games
In recent years,massivelymultiplayer online games (MMOGs) have become very popular by providing more entertainment and sociability than single-player games. In order to prevent cheaters to gain unfair advantages in peer-to-peer (P2P)-based MMOGs, several cheat-proof schemes have been proposed by using digital signatures. However, digital signatures generally require large amount of computations...
متن کاملBehaviour-Based Cheat Detection in Multiplayer Games with Event-B
Cheating is a key issue in multiplayer games as it causes unfairness which reduces legitimate users’ satisfaction and is thus detrimental to game revenue. Many commercial solutions prevent cheats by reacting to specific implementations of cheats. As a result, they respond more slowly to fast-changing cheat techniques. This work proposes a framework using Event-B to describe and detect cheats fr...
