Project Description

SecureSkat is a peer-to-peer implementation of the German card game Skat. The program negotiates participating players and game sessions over an arbitrary IRC network (Internet Relay Chat). Neither a trusted third-party (dealer) nor a centralized game server is necessary. All critical operations, e.g. shuffle of the deck, are performed using advanced cryptographic techniques (so-called Mental Poker solutions) provided by LibTMCG. The outdated OpenSkat branch contains a graphical user interface based on XSkat 3.4. This interface can be used with most recent versions, but must be built separately.

2.6

This release uses a more secure key derivation function (PBKDF1) from RFC 2898. For compatibility reasons, the former encrypted keys are still readable. Furthermore, there exist user commands to export and import a public key manually. The key and ranking databases are now stored in the directory ~/.SecureSkat. A new cryptographic group (from RFC 2412) is included. Unfortunately, because of this change it is not possible to establish game sessions with older versions of SecureSkat.
