Multifactor authentication for information security within a metaverse

An authentication method, comprising:

• identifying a physical location within a virtual environment for an avatar that is associated with a first user;
• obtaining a first token from a token map based on the physical location within the virtual environment for the avatar that is associated with the first user, wherein the token map is configured to:
• map physical locations within the virtual environment to tokens;
• and
• map physical attributes and actions of users to tokens;
• and
• each token is a unique alphanumeric value;
• receiving physical attribute information for the first user in the real world;
• obtaining a second token from the token map based on the physical attribute information for the first user in the real world;
• obtaining a third token from the token map, wherein the third token is based at least in part upon a gesture that is an action performed by the first user in the real world;
• generating an authentication token by combining the first token, the second token, and the third token;
• and
• verifying an identity of the first user based on the authentication token.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• identify a physical location within a virtual environment for an avatar that is associated with a first user;
• obtain a first token from a token map based on the physical location within the virtual environment for the avatar that is associated with the first user, wherein the token map is configured to:
• map physical locations within the virtual environment to tokens;
• and
• map physical attributes and actions of users to tokens;
• and
• each token is a unique alphanumeric value;
• receive physical attribute information for the first user in the real world, wherein the physical attribute information comprises a biometric signal for the first user;
• obtain a second token from the token map based on the physical attribute information for the first user in the real world;
• obtain a third token from the token map, wherein the third token is based at least in part upon a gesture that is an action performed by the first user in the real world;
• generate an authentication token by combining the first token, the second token, and the third token;
• and
• verify an identity of the first user based on the authentication token.
