SECURE METHOD FOR REMOTE GAME MANAGEMENT

摘要

The invention concerns a game management centre connected to at least a remote game terminal, sending to the terminals whereto it is connected, a message (MQ) containing a game identifier and a question. A player's answer acquired by the remote game terminal is transmitted masked by a secret to the game centre to ensure the player's anonymity. If the masked answer message is received before the answer is broadcast, the game management centre sends an acknowledgement to the game terminal. The answer to the question is broadcast subsequently to all remote game terminals. If the player has given the right answer, the terminal should, to claim his prize, send a message containing the acknowledgement and an information proving that he is in possession of the secret used to mask the answer.
