It is somehow encrypted onto the nodes. I'm not sure how they
accomplish it, but apparently it's tamper-proof.

It's still somewhat the same issue. Quake, for example, partially
solves this by only sending information about ``probably visible''
things, so that even fake players (i.e. robots) can't ``see''
everything in the level. No information about the other players'
health or whatever is sent to clients.
