Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The emergence of the metaverse has created new frontiers of possibility for
digital interactions, but it has also brought new challenges for cybersecurity. This
chapter explores the unique risks and threats that arise in the metaverse and how they
differ from traditional cybersecurity concerns. It examines the key factors that make the
metaverse a complex environment to secure, such as the distributed nature of virtual
worlds, the interoperability of diverse technologies, and the growing role of
decentralized platforms. The chapter also reviews the current state of cybersecurity in
the metaverse and discusses strategies for mitigating risks, including the use of
authentication protocols, encryption, and network monitoring. Ultimately, the chapter
argues that securing the metaverse is not just a technical challenge but also a social
one, requiring new forms of collaboration and collective responsibility. By exploring
the intersection of the metaverse and cybersecurity, this chapter provides valuable
insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working in this dynamic field.
