2FA for your Own Minecraft Server
In October I was fortunate to travel across town to GamesBeat 2015, an amazing conference that was launched by VentureBeat and rated as to be among the top blogs on the web by The New York Times. VentureBeat is a leading source for information on technology innovation events, research, and analysis, and their GamesBeat conference, now in its seventh year, draws on these qualities and focuses on the latest trends in technology in the gaming industry.
Tiara's thoughts
We were ecstatic when Authy was invited by GamesBeat 2015 to participate in the event. It's not every day when business and pleasure blend so fluidly. Authy helps online companies safeguard their data and customers by making it easy to include two-factor authentication in their offerings. But we're also gamers at heart, and so when a gaming platform ratchets the security of their platform we're more likely to play.
Gamers Losing Trust?
Hackers are hot for gamers and game developers thanks to the growth of virtual economies on gaming websites. Gaming profiles are selling for thousands of dollars on the black market. But it's multiplayer games, and the $11 billion in annual revenues they generate, that are the prime targets of cyber criminals. Multi-player games' in-game currencies, such as World of Warcraft Gold, are easily stolen and exchanged or exchanged for real cash, usually in other countries and without developers knowing. Even if a company successfully recovers stolen assets and/or is successful in bringing the culprits accountable, this type of infraction is difficult to overcome. The player loses faith in the game. Even if a new or more secure version is released, it is difficult to regain trust.
But it isn't necessary to be that way.
As gamers become frustrated by the frequent data breaches and data breaches, they demand more accountable stewardship of their data from companies. We all recognize that passwords aren't enough protection anymore-we also know that using a second factor to confidently verify the identity of a user can protect your players and your service from data loss, fraud, and malicious attacks. Two-factor authentication is a perfect fit, especially in multi-user online games where players accumulate and trade value.
Security in Just 10 Lines Of Code
It's not hard to implement two-factor authentication. That's the essence of my presentation at GamesBeat 2015. Integrating Authy two-factor authentication is simple, reliable and powerful. And, with only 10 lines of code, you can almost immediately use two-factor authentication to:
Verify that players are registered and logged in to secure transactions of high value and game progressions. You can also protect any in-game activity.
Yes. Authy for Minecraft.
To illustrate this idea, I created two-factor authentication on Minecraft to demonstrate how to use:
Text to voice or SMS at log in with Authy OneCode One Time Passcode generation for player validation with the AuthySoftToken. Push notification with Authy One Touch lets users to swipe their smartphone screen to make purchases in game and other actions that require additional security.
Hackers are no longer just after end-user data. They're now targeting entire player communities and some are planning to destroy entire systems. If gaming developers integrate two-factor authentication across their platforms, individual gamers will be safer Developer account data will be better secured, and brands would create trust and loyalty in its player community.
Integrations between apps can be difficult for developers. With Authy we've worked hard to ensure it's easy to use for any developer. The Authy REST API handles all the details, including key management and secure data structuring. It also comes with two easy end-points and pre-built libraries to enhance security to your login flow with the language you want to use: PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, NodeJS & more.
