“…Furthermore, managing privacy preferences and consent presents another challenge. In the Metaverse, users exhibit diverse privacy preferences regarding the visibility of their activities, interactions, or personal information (Strater & Lipford, 2008;Upadhyay, U. et al, 2023). Access control mechanisms should provide fine-grained controls over privacy settings, enabling users to define their desired levels of privacy and grant consent for collecting and utilizing their data.…”

The advent of the metaverse has revolutionized virtual interactions and navigation, introducing intricate access control challenges. This paper addresses the need for effective access control models in the cloud-based metaverse. It explores its distinct characteristics, including its dynamic nature, diverse user base, and shared spaces, highlighting privacy concerns and legal implications. The paper analyzes access control principles specific to the cloud-based metaverse, emphasizing least privilege, separation of duties, RBAC, defense-in-depth, and auditability/accountability. It delves into identity verification and authorization methods, such as biometrics, multi-factor authentication, and role-based/attribute-based authorization. Advanced access control technologies for the cloud-based metaverse are examined, including SSO solutions, blockchain-based access control, ABAC, adaptive access control, and VMI for isolation. Risk mitigation strategies encompass IDS/IPS, SIEM, and user education programs.

The emergence of the metaverse transforms the way humans interact with computers; the metaverse brings about a new form of human-computer interaction that is more immersive, intuitive, and seamless. In the present paper we thus aim to elucidate the role of human-computer interactions in the age of the metaverse. New forms of human-computer interaction via the metaverse are beneficial for humans in many ways; at the same time, however, there are new types of social issues that are emerging as the metaverse develops and that need to be taken seriously. Specifically, we focus upon issues such as privacy, surveillance capitalism, cyber-syndromes, amplifications of other social problems, environmental problems, and discuss what regulations would be appropriate in order to balance the adequate development of the metaverse with the safety and security of it that is required for social good, in particular for sustainable development goals. We finally propose ethical design principles for the sustainable metaverse in order to address the aforementioned and other social issues.
