Abstract: Apparatus and method for verifying honest gaming transactions over a communications network includes structure and process whereby a host processor receives a random number from a satellite processor over the communications network. The host processor generates a game seed based on the random number. The host processor also receives an arbitrary game input from the satellite processor and generates a game result based on the game input, the game seed, and predetermined game rules. The satellite processor provides the random number and the arbitrary game input to the host processor over the communications network, and receives data corresponding to the game seed and the game result from the host processor. The satellite processor verifies the honesty of the transaction by (i) generating a game result based on the game input, the data corresponding to the game seed, and the predetermined game rules, and (ii) compares the generated game result with the received game result.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for a provider to verify a client's secret identifier includes structure and steps for the client to scramble his/her predetermined secret identifier in a random way with random data. The scrambled data is transmitted to the provider, and the provider determines whether the client's secret identifier is present in the received scrambled data. Preferably, the provider rejects a transaction if the random data in the received scrambled data is substantially the same as random data received in a previous transaction corresponding to said client.
