Kai K. Kimppa, Andy Bissett, N. Ben Fairweather, Security in On-Line Games. In: Kenneth Himma (Ed.), Internet Security: Hacking, Counterhacking, and Society, 221–234, Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2007.

Abstract:

The authors first establish the possibility of on-line computer games as being worth examining from a security perspective. Then, several potential Internet security problems that occur with on-line computer games are presented. For each of these, the way in which the vulnerability is exploited, why the vulnerability is exploited, and how the vulnerability might be remedied is studied.
