26 According to the modules of the system, V-NET security can be divided into 4 parts:
27
28 * **Hardware Security**: To identify and reject unauthorized access requests, prevent gateway hardware from being illegally copied, and confirm request sent by the platform to ensure equipment, hardware and communication safety.
29 * **Platform Security:** To prevent unauthorized devices and users from accessing to the platform,prevent unauthorized users from accessing the platform,prevent unauthorized use or access to user data. 
30 * **Communication Security**: To prevent communication from being eavesdropped and hijacked, prevent the disclosure of user information during communication.
31 * **User Security**: To block improper or dangerous user operations, verify user identity and remind users to protect personal information.
