Cheating Resistance of P2P Gaming Overlays
نویسندگان
چکیده
P2P-based massive multi-player online games (MMOGs) use information dissemination overlays for exchanging game control and position updates among players or peers. Although these overlays are massively scalable and accommodate highly dynamic peers, yet they are prune to deliberate perturbations or cheating by adversaries. Cheating in MMOGs lead to poor quality of gaming services, unavailability of gaming services and hence dissatisfaction of players and/or losses for the companies providing these games. To solve cheating on availability and on quality of gaming service in MMOGs, we propose an indirection-based cheating resistance scheme. In our study, we concentrate on cheating in P2P-based first person shooter games and investigate the affect of cheating on gaming service quality and availability. We envisioned that our scheme prohibits a class of cheating in first person shooter MMOGs and maintains quality of gaming services mainly availability and responsiveness.

RACS: A Referee Anti-Cheat Scheme for P2P Gaming
Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures provide better scalability than Client/Server (C/S) for Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG); however, they increase the possibility of cheating. Existing P2P cheat solutions only prevent protocol level cheats, ignoring two prevalent forms of cheating: information exposure (IE) and invalid commands (IC). This paper proposes the Referee Anti Cheat Scheme (RA...
متن کاملDesigning Benchmarks for P2P Systems
In this paper we discuss requirements for peer-to-peer (P2P) benchmarking, and we present two exemplary approaches to benchmarks for Distributed Hashtables (DHT) and P2P gaming overlays. We point out the characteristics of benchmarks for P2P systems, focusing on the challenges compared to conventional benchmarks. The two benchmarks for very different types of P2P systems are designed applying a...
متن کاملA Performance Evaluation Framework for Mobile P2P Overlays under Churn
With the popular use of the mobile intelligence equipment, including smartphones and mobile tablets, mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have become increasingly important. In recent years some mobile P2P overlays have been proposed. We propose a three-dimension evaluation framework for mobile P2P overlays under churn. Three P2P overlays, named as GIA, M-GIA, and KCCO(k-Clique Community Overlay)...
متن کاملSimilarity Discovery in Structured P2P Overlays
Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlays are appealing, since they can aggregate resources of end systems without relying on sophisticated infrastructures. Services can thus be rapidly deployed over such overlays. Primitive P2P overlays only support searches with single keywords. For queries with multiple keywords, presently only unstructured P2P systems can support by extensively employing message flooding...
متن کاملMapping the PPLive Network: Studying the Impacts of Media Streaming on P2P Overlays
While several deployed p2p le sharing overlays have been characterized in the literature, this paper shows that some of their conclusions may be false for p2p applications that stream media instead. Speci cally, we undertake a crawler-based investigation of PPLive, the largest live multimedia streaming system in the world today. It is important to understand IPTV overlays like PPLive in order...
