The Steamworks SDK includes 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this library for Windows and Linux under the public/steam/lib directory.īefore using Encrypted Application Tickets, you must generate a private key for each title. Instead, a C++ library and a private, symmetric key are used by the secure server to verify the ticket. Unlike Session Tickets, verifying Encrypted Application Tickets does not require that the secure server can make HTTPS requests.

The following authentication methods can be used to securely verify a user's Steam ID. You can retrieve the current user's SteamID by calling ISteamUser::GetSteamID and then retrieve the 64-bit ID by calling CSteamID.ConvertToUint64() on the returned value. In the Steamworks C++ APIs, a user's SteamID is contained within a CSteamID object. Identifying a user within SteamEvery Steam user can be uniquely identified by a 64-bit numeric ID, known as the user's Steam ID.
