Scaling CheckMate for Game-Theoretic Security

Computer Science and Game Theory 2024-06-14 v2 Logic in Computer Science

Abstract

We present the CheckMate tool for automated verification of game-theoretic security properties, with application to blockchain protocols. CheckMate applies automated reasoning techniques to determine whether a game-theoretic protocol model is game-theoretically secure, that is, Byzantine fault tolerant and incentive compatible. We describe CheckMate's input format and its various components, modes, and output. CheckMate is evaluated on 15 benchmarks, including models of decentralized protocols, board games, and game-theoretic examples.
