AI-Oriented Two-Phase Multi-Factor Authentication in SAGINs: Prospects and Challenges
Space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs), which have emerged as an
expansion of terrestrial networks, provide flexible access, ubiquitous
coverage, high-capacity backhaul, and emergency/disaster recovery for mobile
users (MUs). While the massive benefits brought by SAGIN may improve the
quality of service, unauthorized access to SAGIN entities is potentially
dangerous. At present, conventional crypto-based authentication is facing
challenges, such as the inability to provide continuous and transparent
protection for MUs. In this article, we propose an AI-oriented two-phase
multi-factor authentication scheme (ATMAS) by introducing intelligence to
authentication. The satellite and network control center collaborate on
continuous authentication, while unique spatial-temporal features, including
service features and geographic features, are utilized to enhance the system
security. Our further security analysis and performance evaluations show that
ATMAS has proper security characteristics which can meet various security
requirements. Moreover, we shed light on lightweight and efficient
authentication mechanism design through a proper combination of
spatial-temporal factors.Comment: Accepted by IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazin
Legal Implications of a Ubiquitous Metaverse and a Web3 Future
The metaverse is understood to be an immersive virtual world serving as the locus for all forms of work, education, and entertainment experiences. Depicted in books, movies, and games, the metaverse has the potential not just to supplement real-world experiences but to substantially supplant them. This Article explores the rapid emergence and evolution of the Web3 technologies at the heart of the metaverse movement. Web3 itself is a paradigmatic shift in internet commerce
