  <title>C++ library for creating secure and fair online card games</title>
  <description>LibTMCG is a C++ library for creating secure and fair online card
  games. The library contains a sort of useful classes, algorithms,
  and high-level protocols to support an application programmer in
  writing such software. The most remarkable feature is the absence
  of a trusted third party (TTP), i.e. neither a central game server
  nor trusted hardware components are necessary. Thus, with the present
  library there is no need for an independent referee, because the
  applied protocols provide a basic level of confidentiality and
  fairness by itself. Consequently, the library is well-suited for
  peer-to-peer (P2P) environments where no TTP is available. Of
  course, we cannot avoid that malicious players share information
  about their private cards, but the protocols ensure that the shuffle
  of the deck is performed randomly (presumed that at least one player
  is honest) and thus the cards will be distributed uniformly among
  the players. Further, no coalition can learn the private cards of a
  player against his will (except for trivial conclusions). The
  corresponding cryptographic problem, actually called Mental Poker, has
  been studied since 1979 (Shamir, Rivest, and Adleman) by many authors.
  LibTMCG provides the first practical implementation of such protocols.

The implementation relies on advanced cryptographic techniques---the
  so-called zero-knowledge proofs. Using these building blocks the high
  level protocols minimize the effect of coalitions and preserve the
  confidentiality of the players' strategy, i.e. the players are not
  required to reveal their cards at the end of the game to show that
  they did not cheat.
