Avatar Authenticated Metaverse Environment with Improved Key Management and Information Flow Control with Obfuscation

The metaverse, a virtual world that simulates reality, is developing
quickly and is about to become widely incorporated into
human existence in a number of areas, including healthcare,
education, and transportation. Utilizing the core principles of
traditional classroom training, its online counterpart offers
increased flexibility, accessibility, inclusivity, and cost-efficiency.
Advancements in technology and educational tools automate
data collection, enabling precise assessment of knowledge, tailored
learning experiences, and targeted faculty interventions to
accommodate diverse learner needs. The onset of global
technological advancements accelerated the adoption of virtual
learning solutions, prompting a significant transformation in
teaching methods. This paper proposes a novel avatarauthenticated
metaverse environment, leveraging cloud computing
benefits and incorporating techniques such as Improved
Key Management (IKM), Enhanced Information Flow Control
(EIFC), with an obfuscation process. The EIFC method, coupled
with obfuscation, introduces the Red Fox-Adapted Tuna Swarm
Optimization algorithm (RFATSO) to optimally choose an
improved Blowfish key from a series of sub-keys in the
improved Blowfish algorithm. Experimental evaluation against
established techniques showcases the effectiveness of the proposed
approach in revolutionizing educational practices.
