Internet technology has proven to be a vital contributor to many cutting-edge innovations that have given humans access to interact virtually with objects. Until now, numerous virtual systems had been developed for digital transformation to enable access to thousands of services and applications that range from virtual gaming to social networks. However, the majority of these systems lack to maintain consistency during interconnectivity and communication. To explore this discussion, in the recent past a new term, “Metaverse” has been introduced, which is the combination of “meta” and “universe” that describes a shared virtual environment, where a number of technologies, such as fifth-generation (5G) and sixth-generation (6G) technologies, virtual reality, machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence, etc, work collectively to support each other for the sake of one objective, which is the virtual accessibility of objects via one network platform. With the development, integration, and virtualization of technologies, a lot of improvement in daily life applications is expected, but at the same time, there is a big challenge for the research community to secure this platform from external and external threats, because this technology is exposed to many cybersecurity attacks. Hence, it is imperative to systematically review and understand the taxonomy, applications, open security challenges, and future research directions of the emerging Metaverse technologies. In this paper, we have made useful efforts to present a comprehensive survey regarding Metaverse technology by taking into account the aforesaid parameters. Following this, in the initial phase, we will explore the future of Metaverse in the presence of 5th and 6th generation technologies in the context of interoperability and security. Thereafter, we will discuss the possible attacks to set a preface for the open security challenges. Based on underlined security challenges, we will suggest potential research directions that could be beneficial to address these challenges cost-effectively.

事实证明，互联网技术是许多尖端创新的重要贡献者，这些创新使人类能够与物体进行虚拟交互。到目前为止，已经开发了许多用于数字化转型的虚拟系统，以支持访问从虚拟游戏到社交网络的数千种服务和应用程序。然而，这些系统中的大多数缺乏在互连和通信期间保持一致性。为了探讨这一讨论，最近引入了一个新术语“ Metaverse ”，它是“meta”和“universe”的组合，描述了一个共享的虚拟环境，其中包括第五代等多种技术。 （5G）和第六代（6G）技术、虚拟现实、机器学习算法、人工智能等共同努力，相互支持，只为了一个目标，即通过一个网络平台实现物体的虚拟访问。随着技术的发展、集成和虚拟化，日常生活应用程序有望得到很大的改进，但与此同时，研究界面临着一个巨大的挑战，以确保该平台免受外部和外部威胁，因为该技术面临许多网络安全攻击。因此，有必要系统地回顾和理解新兴元界技术的分类、应用、开放安全挑战和未来研究方向。在本文中，我们通过考虑上述参数，做出了有益的努力，对元界技术进行了全面的调查。接下来，在初始阶段，我们将在互操作性和安全性的背景下，在第五代和第六代技术的存在下探索元界的未来。此后，我们将讨论可能的攻击，为开放安全挑战做序。根据强调的安全挑战，我们将提出可能有利于经济高效地应对这些挑战的潜在研究方向。
