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 The outdated OpenSkat branch contains a graphical user interface based on XSkat 3.4.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.

2.0

The communication complexity has been decreased enormously by using the VTMF cryptographic primitive due to Barnett and Smart (from the research paper "Mental Poker Revisited"). Small security fixes have been applied for the non-interactive zero knowledge protocols. Hence (unfortunately), the old keys won't work and one has to generate new keys. The card pictures in the graphical user interface have changed due to license problems.
