Taxonomy of online game security

We present classification of known attacks in online games and provide security solutions against them. While previous works just presented attacks and solutions in case by case, we newly classify attacks by objectives and methods. Moreover, we present attacks in each of four layers: client, server, network, and environment. Through this systematic classification, solutions can be provided more...

First, our notion of a type structure is different from that in Hellman (2012). Second, we modify Hellman’s (2012) example, so that it satisfies the injectivity condition. Notation is as in the main text,...
