  "abstract": "According to examples, a system for enabling communication between one or more disparate networks and network devices utilizing various connection technologies. The system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor, when executing the instructions, may cause the system to modify a security gateway to provide a metaverse security gateway by implementing a protocol associated with a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard, modify a server to provide a metaverse server by implementing a protocol associated with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard, and utilize the metaverse security gateway and the metaverse server to facilitate a metaverse communication for a client device.",
  "claims": [
    "1. A system, comprising: a security gateway; a processor; and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: modify the security gateway to provide a metaverse security gateway by implementing a protocol associated with a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard; and utilize the metaverse security gateway to facilitate a metaverse communication for a client device. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the modifying the security gateway comprises implementing a Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) server in the security gateway. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the modifying the security gateway further comprises assigning, via implementation of a security gateway (SecGW), a proxy subscriber identity module (SIM) to the client device. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the metaverse security gateway is to connect a plurality of device types implementing a plurality of security credential types to facilitate the metaverse communication. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to: facilitate a modification of an aspect of the client device to utilize a Fast IDentity Online (FI DO) standard in association with the security gateway. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to: modify a server to provide a metaverse server by implementing the protocol associated with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the modifying the server comprises implementing at least one functional block associated with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard. 8. A method, comprising: modifying a security gateway to provide a metaverse security gateway by implementing a first protocol associated with a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard; modifying a server to provide a metaverse server by implementing a second protocol associated with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard; and utilizing the metaverse security gateway and the metaverse server to facilitate a metaverse communication between a plurality of network devices utilizing a plurality of connection technologies. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the modifying the server comprises implementing a Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) server within a 5G core (5GC) network. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the modifying the server further comprises assigning a proxy subscriber identity module (SIM), via the 5G core (5GC) network, to a client device. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein the metaverse security gateway is to connect the plurality of network devices, the plurality of network devices implementing a plurality of security credential types, to facilitate the metaverse communication. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the modifying the security gateway comprises implementing a non-access stratum (NAS) layer in a protocol stack of the security gateway. 13. The method of claim 8, wherein the security gateway is to support 5G-capable devices and non-5G-capable devices. 14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having an executable stored thereon, which when executed instructs a processor to: modify a security gateway to provide a metaverse security gateway by implementing a protocol associated with a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard; modify a server to provide a metaverse server by implementing the protocol associated with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard; and utilize the metaverse security gateway and the metaverse server to facilitate a metaverse communication for a client device. 15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the modifying the server comprises implementing a Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) standard on a dedicated server. 16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the modifying the server further comprises assigning a proxy subscriber identity module (SIM), via implementation of the dedicated server, to the client device. 17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the metaverse security gateway is to connect to a plurality of device types implementing a plurality of security credential types to facilitate the metaverse communication. 18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the modifying the security gateway comprises implementing a non-access stratum (NAS) layer in a protocol stack of the security gateway. 19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the modifying the security gateway includes implementation of an internet protocol security (IPsec) tunnel utilizing a dynamic key and a universal subscriber identity module (USIM). 20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the modifying the server comprises implementing at least one functional block associated with the 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard, the at least one functional block comprising Access Management function (AMF), Security Anchor function (SEAF), Authentication Server Function (AUSF), Authentication Credential Repository and Processing Function (ARPF), Unified Data Management (UDM), Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP), a User Plane Function (UPF) or a Session Management Function (SMF)."

  "description_excerpt": "This patent application relates generally to data communication and transfer, and more specifically, to systems and methods for enable communication between one or more disparate networks and network devices utilizing various connection technologies.\n\nA developing technology likely to have a revolutionary impact on humanity is the metaverse. Although the metaverse may be defined in a myriad of ways, in some examples and as used herein, the metaverse may represent a single, universal, and/or immersive virtual environment. In some examples, the metaverse may be facilitated by the use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR), among other things.\n\nIn some examples, metaverse security may require, among other things, protection across any all platforms or networks, for any and all devices, and over any and all access technologies. That is, in an ideal circumstance, a device may be able to seamlessly connect to any device that may be necessary to facilitate a metaverse experience for a user. However, unfortunately, current cybersecurity schemes may not meet the challenges that may be presented by implementation of the metaverse.\n\nFeatures of the present disclosure are illustrated by way of example and not limited in the following figures, in which like numerals indicate like elements. One skilled in the art will readily recognize from the following that alternative examples of the structures and methods illustrated in the figures can be employed without departing from the principles described herein.",
