Leveraging quantum blockchain for secure multiparty space sharing and authentication on specialized metaverse platform

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, securing data on metaverse platforms poses significant challenges. This paper proposes Multiparty Space Sharing and Authentication (MSSA), a novel approach for secure user login and location access control within specialized metaverse platforms. MSSA leverages Quantum Multiparty Secret Computation (QMSC) integrated with a quantum blockchain network. This integration facilitates user verification within the presence of potentially untrusted metaverse authority. The underlying quantum blockchain employs a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism with a Borda voting scheme for authority node selection. By harnessing the principles of quantum cryptography, MSSA offers enhanced security against both classical and anticipated future quantum attacks. This research demonstrates the feasibility and potential of quantum blockchain for securing metaverse platforms, paving the way for secure and decentralized digital ecosystems.
