Collaborative Mixed-Reality (CMR) applications are gaining interest in a wide range of areas including games, social interaction, design and health-care. To date, the vast majority of published work has focused on display technology advancements, software, collaboration architectures and applications. However, the potential security concerns that affect collaborative platforms have received limited research attention. In this position paper, we investigate the challenges posed by cyber-security threats to CMR systems. We focus on how typical network architectures facilitating CMR and how their vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers, and discuss the degree of potential social, monetary impacts, psychological and other harms that may result from such exploits. The main purpose of this paper is to provoke a discussion on CMR security concerns. We highlight insights from a cyber-security threat modelling perspective and also propose potential directions for research and development toward better mitigation strategies. We present a simple, systematic approach to understanding a CMR attack surface through an abstraction-based reasoning framework to identify potential attack vectors. Using this framework, security analysts, engineers, designers and users alike (stakeholders) can identify potential Indicators of Exposures (IoE) and Indicators of Compromise (IoC). Our framework allows stakeholders to reduce their CMR attack surface as well understand how Intrusion Detection System (IDS) approaches can be adopted for CMR systems. To demonstrate the validity to our framework, we illustrate several CMR attack surfaces through a set of use-cases. Finally, we also present a discussion on future directions this line of research should take.

Cyber security analysts use data visualizations to speed up ingestion of security data. These visualizations typically take the form of 2D graphics displayed on computer monitors. Virtual reality has the potential to improve these visualizations with immersive 3D environments and unique interaction mechanics. However, research into this newly synergised area lacks evaluation, leading to unfounded claims of effectiveness. A potential cause for these missing evaluations was identified as a lack of guidance detailing how evaluations should be conducted in this area. Additionally, the small amount of research that does include evaluation incorrectly relies on subjective participant opinions to objectively measure system effectiveness. An example of this misuse is asking participants which system they thought was quicker, rather than timing them. The objective of this paper was to propose a solution to these issues in the form of a surveyed, categorised, and analysed set of evaluation metrics. A total of 49 metrics were identified from 41 papers. The presented metrics detail which dependent variables should be considered when evaluating works in the combined fields of cyber security, data visualization, and virtual reality. These metrics can be used to produce more accurate evaluations in future works in this area.
