Abstract

The heterogeneous connections in metaverse environments pose vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks. To prevent and mitigate malicious network activities in a distributed metaverse, conventional intrusion detection systems (IDS) have communication overhead and privacy concerns. Federated learning (FL) techniques are widely employed to develop IDS frameworks and enable privacy-preserving collaborative learning schemes in decentralized ecosystems. However, the vanilla FL system utilizes a centralized FL aggregation technique, which introduces a single point of failure (SPoF) and potential unauthorized aggregators, allowing malicious clients to inject false data parameters, known as poisoning attacks. Furthermore, low-quality clients in the FL system can result in degraded model performance and hinder convergence. This study proposes a secure and reliable blockchain-aided federated learning (BFL)-based IDS framework using a lightweight model for securing metaverse. An authorized federated IDS is proposed to establish a trustworthy decentralized aggregation mechanism, utilizing proof-of-authority (PoA) consensus. The proposed federated IDS implemented a hybrid client selection (HCS) technique, considering the accuracy and reputation of client histories, to select high-quality metaverse edge devices. Additionally, a fairness ERC-20 token-based incentive mechanism was developed to reward selected FL clients as a token of appreciation for their contribution to the FL training processes. A…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
