Access Control and Authentication

In addition to encryption technology, the platform also employs other security measures such as access control and authentication, which are crucial components in ensuring the security of the Paraverse network ecosystem and the privacy of user data. Only authorized users are allowed to access and operate on relevant data.

1. Private Key Signature: Each external account is controlled by a private key, which is used to sign transactions. Before sending a transaction, the sender must sign the transaction with their private key to prove they have control of the account. Only users with the correct private key can sign valid transactions.

2. Access Control: In smart contracts, core developers write code to implement specific access control logic. Through the contract's code, users' access to different functions and data within the contract can be restricted. For example, only accounts with specific addresses or meeting certain conditions may execute a contract function. Only authorized users can access and use GPU rendering services and view rendering data.

3. Multisignature: The Paraverse network supports multisignature (Multisig) contracts, which is an advanced access control technique. In a multisignature contract, multiple accounts must participate in signing a transaction for it to be valid. This method enhances the security of transactions by ensuring that multiple accounts' consensus is required to perform sensitive operations.

4. Authentication Protocols: In addition to account-based and smart contract access control, the Paraverse network also supports authentication protocols. These protocols allow users to store their identity information in smart contracts and perform authentication and authorization operations. For example, miners need to provide necessary identity information and undergo identity verification when registering their mining machines, ensuring that miners have the capabilities and reliability to provide rendering services. The platform will assign appropriate rendering tasks based on the miner's device capabilities and restrict their access to other platform features.

The Paraverse network achieves access control and authentication through five methods: private key signatures, access control, multisignature, and authentication protocols. These measures ensure that only authorized users can access and perform specific operations, safeguarding the network's security and trustworthiness.
