Towards building a firm metaverse security base

Abstract

The Metaverse is a significant field that is currently receiving considerable attention from both the industry and academia. The transformation of the Metaverse from science fiction to reality is being actively promoted by technology, industry, and capital. However, the development of the Metaverse is still in its early stages, and the system architecture and theoretical technology of the Metaverse are not yet mature. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the Metaverse and summarizes its holographic, omnipotent, multidimensional, and multifaceted characteristics. The development of the Metaverse is founded on the relevant infrastructure, and we elaborate on the primary components of the Metaverse infrastructure. Furthermore, we systematically summarize the security risks inherent in the Metaverse infrastructure. Based on this, we propose utilizing the system security technology concept to guide the construction of a Metaverse security protection system from various perspectives at each level of computing, cloud, network, digital assets, and terminals, in order to construct a secure foundation for addressing the Metaverse’s security risks and challenges.
