The rapid development of consumer electronics technology has greatly promoted the progress of the metaverse. However, as a digitized virtual environment, the metaverse imposes high demands on the security of user identities and assets. In this context, asynchronous remote distributed key generation has become one of the key technologies to ensure the security of the metaverse. Unlike traditional key generation methods, the asynchronous nature makes the distributed key generation process more flexible, helping to address the dynamic and heterogeneous network environment within the metaverse. This paper proposes an asynchronous remote key generation method. This method employs public-key cryptography and basic asynchronous primitives to accomplish remote key generation and exchange through encryption and decryption operations between different nodes. In comparison to traditional methods, the asynchronous remote key generation approach provides higher security and reliability, while also showcasing increased efficiency and flexibility.
