Method and system for out-of-band user identification in the metaverse via biographical (bio) ID

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• detecting a need to verify an identity of a particular user in a metaverse environment, wherein verification of the identity of the particular user is required to facilitate a trusted interaction in the metaverse environment;
• based on the detecting the need, classifying the particular user into a class of users based on information associated with the particular user;
• and
• obtaining a particular hash associated with the particular user, wherein the particular hash is generated for identity verification purposes based on processing of a video, an image, a voice recording, or biometric information associated with the particular user, wherein only the particular hash is stored in the metaverse environment;
• retrieving a second hash from a user profile of a first user, wherein the second hash corresponds to a second user and is generated based on processing of a video, an image, a voice recording, or biometric information associated with the second user, wherein the second hash is generated during prior registration of the first user with a metaverse system associated with the metaverse environment;
• responsive to the retrieving the second hash, performing a comparison of the second hash and the particular hash to determine whether there is a match;
• and
• based on a determination that there is a match between the second hash and the particular hash, and the class of the particular user, identifying that the particular user corresponds to the second user, resulting in a verification of the identity of the particular user.

A method, comprising:

• detecting, by a processing system, a need to verify an identity of a particular user in a metaverse environment, wherein verification of the identity of the particular user is required to facilitate a trusted interaction in the metaverse environment;
• based on the detecting the need, classifying, by the processing system, the particular user into a class of users based on information associated with the particular user;
• and
• receiving, by the processing system, a particular encoding associated with the particular user, wherein the particular encoding is generated for identity verification purposes based on processing of a video, an image, a voice recording, or biometric information associated with the particular user, wherein only the particular encoding is stored in the metaverse environment;
• retrieving, by the processing system, a second encoding from a user profile of a first user, wherein the second encoding corresponds to a second user and is generated based on processing of a video, an image, a voice recording, or biometric information associated with the second user;
• responsive to the retrieving the second encoding, performing, by the processing system, a comparison of the second encoding and the particular encoding to determine whether there is a match;
• and
• based on a determination that there is a match between the second encoding and the particular encoding and the class of the particular user, identifying, by the processing system, that the particular user corresponds to the second user, resulting in a verification of the identity of the particular user.
