“…Another research direction is how to ensure that avatars themselves, as digital entities, can be protected from unauthorized access by imposters, and how the identity of the users can be managed within the social VR system. Although some authors have called for access control and identity management for avatars in social VR (Gavrilova and Yampolskiy, 2010;Yampolskiy et al, 2012;Bader and Ben Amara, 2014a;Bader and Ben Amara, 2016;Bader and Ben Amara, 2017;Freeman et al, 2020) are the only authors we found that explored this topic and proposed technical solutions.…”

“…In response to the problems mentioned above, we hope to find corresponding protection mechanisms or potential countermeasures in the literature. While 13 papers (Gavrilova and Yampolskiy, 2010;Boukhris et al, 2011;Mohamed and Yampolskiy, 2012;Yampolskiy et al, 2012;Bader and Ben Amara, 2014a;Bader and Ben Amara, 2014b;Bader and Ben Amara, 2016;Bader and Ben Amara, 2017;Falchuk et al, 2018;Pfeuffer et al, 2019;John et al, 2020;Lake, 2020) have explicitly addressed one or several identity and privacy issues and proposed corresponding protection mechanisms, works that have presented techniques or design guidelines that provide potential solutions in the area of virtual reality are also included and analyzed. Based on their characteristics and objectives, we have subdivided them into the following categories.…”

“…In another paper (Bader and Ben Amara, 2017), they presented a virtual world platform for implementing and deploying biometrical access control against identity attacks from cybercriminals. They put forward a detailed methodology guide for designing such a virtual world equipped with a user interface for registration and biometric enrollment, simulation of 3D scenes, avatars, and objects, and a biometric-based logical access control framework.…”

Social Virtual Reality (social VR or SVR) provides digital spaces for diverse human activities, social interactions, and embodied face-to-face encounters. While our digital bodies in SVR can in general be of almost any conceivable appearance, individualized or even personalized avatars bearing users’ likeness recently became an interesting research topic. Such digital bodies show a great potential to enhance the authenticity of social VR citizens and increase the trustworthiness of interpersonal interaction. However, using such digital bodies might expose users to privacy and identity issues such as identity theft: For instance, how do we know whether the avatars we encounter in the virtual world are who they claim to be? Safeguarding users’ identities and privacy, and preventing harm from identity infringement, are crucial to the future of social VR. This article provides a systematic review on the protection of users’ identity and privacy in social VR, with a specific focus on digital bodies. Based on 814 sources, we identified and analyzed 49 papers that either: 1) discuss or raise concerns about the addressed issues, 2) provide technologies and potential solutions for protecting digital bodies, or 3) examine the relationship between the digital bodies and users of social VR citizens. We notice a severe lack of research and attention on the addressed topic and identify several research gaps that need to be filled. While some legal and ethical concerns about the potential identity issues of the digital bodies have been raised, and despite some progress in specific areas such as user authentication has been made, little research has proposed practical solutions. Finally, we suggest potential future research directions for digital body protection and include relevant research that might provide insights. We hope this work could provide a good overview of the existing discussion, potential solutions, and future directions for researchers with similar concerns. We also wish to draw attention to identity and privacy issues in social VR and call for interdisciplinary collaboration.

“…Bader et al [118] addressed the issue of virtual worlds' platforms being equipped with only password-based authentication mechanisms by proposing a methodology to design a virtual world platform to implement a biometrical authentication mechanism. They used a 3D toolkit to build a complete virtual space and opted for a client-server configuration.…”

Extended Reality (XR) is increasingly gaining momentum in industries such as retail, health, and education. To protect users’ personal data, establishing a secure authentication system for XR devices becomes essential. Recently, the focus on authentication methods for XR devices has been limited. To further our understanding of this topic, we surveyed authentication schemes, particularly systems and methods deployed in XR settings. In this survey, we focused on reviewing and evaluating papers published during the last decade (between 2014 and 2023). We compared knowledge-based authentication, physical biometrics, behavioral biometrics, and multi-model methods in terms of accuracy, security, and usability. We also highlighted the benefits and drawbacks of those methods. These highlights will direct future Human–computer Interaction (HCI) and security research to develop secure, reliable, and practical authentication systems.

As the metaverse gains traction, the importance of metaverse security research becomes increasingly evident. While there has been research on authenticating users in the metaverse, there is a notable gap in research concerning the authentication of specific spaces within the metaverse. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a novel user-centric blockchain-based authentication approach that incorporates space authentication. The proposed approach leverages blockchain smart contracts to authenticate users using cosine similarity metrics. A significant advantage of this approach its ability to establish user-centric authentication by seamlessly integrating metaverse and blockchain technologies, all without the need for a centralized authority. In this paper, we not only evaluate the security of our proposed approach but also conduct experiments to determine the cosine similarity threshold and assess its feasibility within a metaverse environment.
