Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for electronic-certificate-based interaction. One of the methods includes that a client device outputs a list of users that have social relationships with the first user and that hold electronic certificates in response to an interaction operation initiated by a first user. The client device determines a second user selected by the first user from the list of users. An electronic certificate acquisition request is sent by the client device to a server. The client device receives an electronic certificate from the server and stores the electronic certificate in a local storage of the client device. The first user obtains an allocation permission of a virtual object in a predetermined virtual object set when a category quantity of obtained electronic certificates reaches a predetermined threshold.
