Abstract: A digital twin (DT) is an electronic replica of a real-world item. It is built on top of asset-specific data items and is often enhanced using semantic technologies and simulation environments. The DT lays the way for anything from routine monitoring to hands-off administration of a physical entity. With the development of the metaverse concept of DT gains importance. As it helps to manage the physical entity in the metaverse. Therefore, it is beneficial to use DT for the detection and mitigation of different types of cyber attacks. In this context, we use the concept of DT for the identification and detection of DDoS attacks in the IoT network. Our proposed approach uses the concept of support vector machine (SVM) learning technique for the identification and detection of DDoS attacks. In our proposed approach, the DT of physical routers is stored in the metaverse, which makes it secure against any type of physical attack. Our proposed approach detected the malicious packets with an accuracy of 93.25% accuracy.
