A Comprehensive Study Of Metaverse Privacy And Security

Abstract

The concept of the metaverse has been evolving over time, and it does not have a specific launch date. The term "metaverse" was popularized by Neal Stephenson in his science fiction novel "Snow Crash," published in 1992. The term "metaverse" refers to a virtual reality space or a collective virtual shared space where people can interact with a computer-generated environment and with each other in real-time. It is often described as a digital universe that encompasses various interconnected virtual worlds, augmented reality, and virtual reality experiences. Metaverse privacy refers to the protection of personal information and the preservation of individual privacy within the metaverse or virtual reality environments. As the metaverse becomes more prevalent and people engage in immersive digital experiences, it raises concerns about the collection, use, and sharing of personal data, as well as the potential for privacy breaches and surveillance. In this case study we try to resolve why the security landscape will continually change, and new threats and challenges may emerge.
