Online gaming is undeniably a popular pastime on the internet. Millions of gamers invest large amounts of time and money in today's Massive Multiplayer Online Games. Most games allow players to create online indentities and assets which sometimes cross into the real world, for example, gamers trading virtual game items, and properties for real world money. This has created an opportunity for "cybercrime" activities.
The growing number of sophisticated malicious programs makes the protection of user accounts with a traditional login and static password combination less than ideal. Stolen passwords can cause serious damage to a game publisher as well as to the users: indentity theft, capture of personal information, credit card information theft, or even inappropriately contacting children by preteding to be another child, just to name a few.

Securing Online Gaming Authentication
Cybercrime is unfortunately a growing problem to businesses of every size. Fraud and risk management should be a priority to every online entertainment service providers to help protect their customers and business. An easy and efficient method to provide significant protection against 'over the shoulder looking' and phishing schemes is to add a second protection layer though the use of One Time Passwords (OTPs).
- One Time Passwords effectively eliminate the risk of stolen passwords by.
- Time based OTPs provides even further protection by providing passwords that are valid for a limited time period.
- A third variant is to implement Transaction Specific OTPs, which are codes generated based on a primary transaction parameters. This challenge/response scheme renders the OTP immune to getting attacked by malicious software since it can be used to verify a transaction with the same parameters as entered on the separate hardware key generator.
