Abstract
The metaverse is a unified, persistent, and shared multi-user virtual environment with a fully immersive, hyper-temporal, and diverse interconnected network. When combined with healthcare, it can effectively improve medical services and has great potential for development in realizing medical training, enhanced teaching, and remote surgical treatment. The metaverse provides immersive services for users through massive and multimodal data, and its data scale and data growth rate are bound to show exponential growth. Blockchain-based distributed storage is a fundamental way to keep the metaverse running continuously; however, many blockchains, such as Ethereum and Filecoin, suffer from low transaction throughput and high latency, which seriously affect the efficiency of distributed storage services and make it difficult to apply them to the metaverse environment. To this end, this paper first proposes a network architecture for distributed storage systems based on proof of retrievability to address the problem of centralized decision making and single point of access in centralized storage. The secure data storage of the metaverse health system is ensured. Secondly, we designed two data transmission protocols through vector commitment and encoding functions to achieve the transfer of time cost from the critical path to storage nodes and improve the efficiency of data verification between nodes as well as the scalability of the metaverse health system. Finally, this paper also conducts security analysis and performance analysis of the proposed scheme, and the results show that our scheme is secure and efficient.
