Abstract :
We illustrate the close connection between cryptographic protocols and games. Several two-person game theoretic concepts and techniques are used here to model and analyze different two-party cryptographic protocols in a malicious model in order to find equilibrium conditions that allow to protect honest parties against all possible strategies of adversaries.
