Building Blocks --> Multi-Step
Protocol
The
Multi-step Transaction is a more advanced version of the
Single-step Blast Transaction. As opposed to
communicating with all the participants in the game,
this transaction can include a more limited set of
participants. Also, it supports a “privacy” mode with an
alternate message sent to the remaining excluded
participants.
The
simplest casual game example of this concept is dealing
cards face down to an individual player while in a
advanced computer game, a sub could send its position to
the other members of its team, but not its foes.
One of the
first tests during the development of this transaction
was to use it to build a chat system.
The
Multi-step Transaction is also a simple message. The
privacy function is simply implemented by a flag and
distribution to the appropriate participants. Note,
there is no requirement for a turn-based or other
structured system for this transaction. Those features
would need to be added, as appropriate, for a game’s
rules. Several of the other transaction types utilize
the privacy function, especially, the Random
Transaction.
This
technique is based on cryptographic algorithms
integrated in a new way as described in
our international patents.
The mathematics and details of this protocol are
described in our Technology Section --> Cryptography
(view the Cryptography for
Secure Game Elements of Chance).
