With the recent wave of account hackings and CCP's reminder again to "Protect Your Accounts" I would like to reboot an inactive Proposal.
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=131673
With the amount of time we invest into this game and the damage that can be caused by hacking perhaps greater than that of a credit card theft to some of us there is, in my opinion, not enough done by CCP to give us the tools to protect our accounts.
There are a lot of suggestions about how security could be improved but the single best improvement would be RSA authentication.
Blizzard uses this for WOW and we make fun of how "trivial" it is to level a WOW character, yet they have a better level of protection than our EVE characters. Please don't take it that I am recommending you go play WOW... but they have a very well done implementation of RSA security. here's the FAQ that will give a little idea of how it works. http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=24660
some key things to note. -keys are optional, If you do not have a key setup on your account you can login with username and password as usual. -once a key is added to the account it will be required for all logins. -a single key can be added to multiple accounts, it won't mean they are linked just that they all accept the same key. -ideally keys would be available for <$10 US, CCP could even offer them for 1 PLEX, optionally software keys would be available for all the smart phone app stores so we can use our phones as a key.
I believe this is one of the most important meta game issues we have at this time, please discuss and promote this issue, do not let this thread die again. -We So SeXy |

As a former WoW player, I definitely support such a system. Its not unduly complicated or hindering for users, and provides a level of security that few other features can match. I like me

I'd definatly say this is a good idea. Mainly because its optional, people will have the option to better protect their accounts but aren't forced to buy anything either.
Can't go wrong with choice :p

Following best industry practice in account security matters should not require users to request. The unique metagaming that CCP's games are marketed on should result in CCP LEADING the industry in protection of its players.

There's also this thing I recently discovered. It's called your brain. I laugh at these people who cry about being victims of Identity theft and account hacking. Very FEW accounts are actually 'hacked'. Instead, the account info is phished because someone isn't using their brain.
I personally run my entire PC with no antivirus, no firewall, and I run with DMZ on. Never once have I gotten any form of spyware, any virus, and only ONCE has my Eve account been compromised. And that was a lucky guess due to someones computer storing passwords in Firefox.
So, in short; to better protect your account, USE YOUR ****ING HEAD WHEN GOING TO WEBSITES. Seriously, why the **** do you need to enter your account information ANYWHERE but eveonline.com, eveonline gate, or the actual Eve client?

This may work for some, and has so far worked for me as well, but I am not naive enough to believe that I am better than every security threat out there. this Is why I employ every security precaution at my disposal when dealing with things like my bank, utility companies, ext... I would like to have more options for security for EVE as I have invested a significant amount of my time there.
However, not all users of Eve are as capable as you / or I , nor do I think we wish to limit the possible subscriber base to PC security enthusiasts.

I love how Saithe is soapboxing about "using your brain" when he himself brainlessly compromised one of his own accounts. Everyone always believes they're too smart to get phished, hacked or compromised. It never fails. But most of the time, they aren't.
I support this product and/or service, because more protection can't hurt and might help.

Yes it would be great if there was more protection but not if it is going to cost players even more $$$ to play.
The very best protection is that which the end user deploys themselves & when 98% of hacks are actually more along the lines of the person getting the p/w etc from the accounts owner due to being a friend, relative, or because they buy ISK or frequent sites that most players wouldn't bother with <hacking sites, Pirate software sites the list goes on> Why should everyone else have to pay for that?
Extra security is always a good thing when it comes to computer games, BUT no matter how much security a game has nothing will stop it from happening if people continue to see their account details as something that isn't really that important, or they continue to frequent Phishing sites, Pirate Software sites etc etc.
There are people who want to die & It is Our Job To make sure they get their wish as fast as possible!?!

9 times out of 10 the problem starts with the idiot at the keyboard.... the ones who click on links to sites that are not legitimate... the ones who download software without restraint.
You can't fix stupid... and I seriously doubt CCP will even bother to do this properly if such a proposal would come to pass.
As long as its option I don't have a problem with it.

Thanks Tea, however the security tokens seems to be a small footnote in the proposal you linked. It's mostly concerned with character transfer proceedings.
I might add that If account management was secured by RSA key it would be much much harder for anyone to initiate an unauthorized character transfer.
I want to stress that RSA keys are perhaps the single best security mechanism that could be added and we should be clear that it should be the first priority, not a "Long term security improvement to consider" -We So SeXy |

Supported. One caution regarding an optional system is the fact that non-users of the Blizzard tokens have had (probably software) tokens put on their stolen accounts to lock them out of their own accounts. This is not a deal-killer by any means, but thought needs to be put into a process for efficiently handling/preventing situations like this if tokens are implemented. |

Your the one not using your head. No firewall, no anti-virus, or no anti-malware period. You sir are a hacker's wet dream. Even when surfing to a legitimate site you can be infected, or one of your friends get infected and the virus gets attached to an email they send you. Oh and how do you know you haven't been infected with nothing to scan to detect threats, you don't. And when you do get one hope it is only a nuisance virus and not one that could destroy your beloved computer from the inside out.
And yes better security is always better. Flame me I dare you. |

I'd be interested to hear some statistics from CCP about the number of failed login attempts per account per day. i.e.: the number of brute-force attempts by people trying to guess bad passwords.

Edited by: Martosh Toma on 07/10/2010 14:27:11 Add the folowing securities before enabling rsa key purchase:
- account details must be unmoddified for 30 days prior to request - login notification of recent account detail modification - login notificcation of failed logins - login notification of previously unknown ip logins (both on web and client login of course)
with some kind of email verification allow rsa purchase (5 day cooldown + login notification of purchase request)
doing it this way you could even sell the rsa for a few plex at little extra security risks

Eve has an account hacking problem because of all the 3rd party work that goes into the game. Extra security on accounts seems very appropriate in this case.

The ones mailed out by Blizzard for World of Warcraft have the Blizzard logo on them, so they can't be mistaken for anything else unless one is blind. Of course, if one is blind, then that raises more fundamental usability issues with the game, itself. 
It should be a simple matter to have EVE Online RSA devices be manufactured with the CCP logo. __________________________________________________ Survivor of Teskanen, fan of John Rourke. |

Supported.
Yes, most problems occur when people are being stupid. OTOH, it is probably easier to change the security than the entire human race. And you having done something unsafe and survived does not prove it was safe - be it DUI, unprotected s*x or surfing. Google "first day exploits" - Adobe and Flash are recent favorites where an up-to-date machine on a good website can even get malware served up from an advertising network that appears in the sidebar.
This will cost CCP money to implement. However the reduced customer service costs offset this. At some point, as the player population grows and humans (customer service agents/GMs) get more expensive and technology gets cheaper, the lines will cross, if TFA is not already a cost savings. Also note that it's not just physical fobs any more. iPhone/Android/smartphone applications get around the shipping issue.
Personally, I would prefer for CCP to be a leader in technology in general and play protection in particular. But at least now they should play catch-up.
The next level is to optionally allow a corp/alliance to say that certain roles require a TFA authenticator. E.g., a large alliance could say only characters with an authenticator could be assigned the role that allows disband an alliance. The CVA disband that was undone probably could have been avoided.

The algorithm is called RSA. The name of the company is called RSA. The first (widely known) 2FA hardware dongles were sold by RSA Inc. and called RSA Authenticators. The Blizzard Authenticator(tm) may or may not be based upon a RSA Authenticator(tm) from the RSA. It's been over 17 years (patent life) since their 1978 paper so there may be cheaper alternatives than from RSA Inc. But in the same way that people make xerox copies and google the internet even if they use a Canon and (shudder) Bling, I usually see them referred to as RSA Authenticators, whether describing the Blizzard model or another.

Yet another reminder today to secure our accounts under yet another "wave" of account hackings. perhaps the frequency and seeming ease at which these "waves" of account compromise are occurring should give some indication that EVE account security is not adequate, and that placing most of the responsibility for account security on vulnerable users and their systems is not improving the problem. Please support this and ask your favorite CSM to encourage CCP to prioritize account security in light of these continuing waves.
We need a breakwater, a breakwater made of authentication tokens :), and perhaps some "no wake" buoys.

Supported.
If CCP can act promptly, hackers will look for easier targets, and even non-adopters would be safer. To be honest CCP should have offered this six months ago; now they have to use their precious resources to recover accounts for annoyed subscribers (I wonder what fraction quit EVE entirely?)

Another proposal thread popped up for this issue here... http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1408509&page=1 I wanted to consolidate this discussion to this thread and keep it alive as it has a number of supports.
Please remember to click the "support" checkbox when posting your support here.
in this other thread it was suggested that PGP encryption be used as it is freely available. I will cross post my response here. ---
PGP encryption is not a suitable alternative to external pass phrase systems. a private key is needed to generate the PGP encryption on your client side, this could be captured by a keylogger or other compromise just as easy as a password.
The power of a security key, such as Pay Pal, or Blizzard Authenticator, is that it is a separate device that is much more difficult to compromise (it can even be your smart phone).
The best security is implemented by authenticating 3 things. 1: Something you know (a password) 2: Something you have (an external key, ID badge, ext..) 3: Something you are (fingerprint)
we currently only have #1, and it's easy to obtain something someone knows. adding #2 has proven sufficient for other games, financial institutions, government agencies, ext... and could rather easily be implemented for EVE. adding #3 is usually reserved for the highest security (military/secret) and would be difficult to implement in any meaningful way for online transactions. -We So SeXy |

This enables secure account sharing. This will allow someone to lend out their account with no threat of it being stolen.
If it does not then it is worthless. CCRES is recruiting pilots who want to live in WSpace/Wormholes. Fill out an application here! |

If only one security key can be associated with an account (typical) then this isn't making it easier for account sharing. you'd have to have the person your sharing with to call you (TS or w/e) and read the passphrase of the moment of to them. It's no different than if you where to reset your password for each person you share with prior to allowing them to login and then reseting it.
Sharing will continue to be a risk as you still don't know that the person you're sharing with won't otherwise compromise your account, wipe your items/isk, steal your MOM&Titan or otherwise. and when those situations get petitioned someone usually ends up taking the BAN. (read recent EveNews24)
If this is combined with IP based security it would make it even more difficult for account sharing to take place.

I never said anything about it being easier.

Not true, you could recover your password because you still have the key.

I was talking about account being secure, not assets.

That is why you never petition account theft via sharing.
Originally by: SXYGeeK If this is combined with IP based security it would make it even more difficult for account sharing to take place.
Yes but no one is talking about this.
This feature could make account sharing safer. That said I support this proposal on the condition that all that is required to transfer all three characters on an account is a single RSA key entry. CCRES is recruiting pilots who want to live in WSpace/Wormholes. Fill out an application here! |

I see, you're saying that the risk of having something unrecoverable stolen due to account sharing should be an effective limit on account sharing.
I don't know that that is the case, I have heard of several situations where someone sharing an account just reported it as "hacked" and had their characters/items returned. (the article in EveNews24 is the most recent such report of such a situation)
If CCP where serious about account sharing violations they would have IP based access control and would be issuing warnings and temp bans for suspicious access. I've actually never heard of them doing this. Personally I think they don't really care until it causes them a support ticket.
You are right, security keys could remove one of the possible risks in sharing an account, however, there is still the risk to assets, corp/alliance roles, reputation. And I don't think that that those risks are really an effective deterrent in the first place. I think that the pain of communicating the key's pass phrase for every login would make most account sharing folks choose to use just passwords and not get a key. -We So SeXy |

add me.. but dont let it cost extra money. Why that ? Its not only the user interest, its ccp interest that users can login safely without fear their accounts can get hacked easily.

How much money do you need to spend before you feel secure?
My bank doesn't feel it necessary to protect with unnecessary hardware, and I rather imagine they're a lot better at account security than CCP or the OP.

What you mean RSA security? You seems to be spitting words without knowledge. What in Blizzard stupidity is related to Rivest-Shamir-Aldeman chipher algorithm?
The algorithm is called RSA. The name of the company is called RSA. The first (widely known) 2FA hardware dongles were sold by RSA Inc. and called RSA Authenticators. The Blizzard Authenticator(tm) may or may not be based upon a RSA Authenticator(tm) from the RSA. It's been over 17 years (patent life) since their 1978 paper so there may be cheaper alternatives than from RSA Inc. But in the same way that people make xerox copies and google the internet even if they use a Canon and (shudder) Bling, I usually see them referred to as RSA Authenticators, whether describing the Blizzard model or another.
The blizzard tokens are from a company called VASCO Data Security, not RSA, RSA (the company) are encryption specialists, VASCO are authentication, just to make it easier if you're looking for more information. Either companies tokens would be better than none, but only if optional
