I’ve been having fun turning my VR art into AR paintings lately.... really makes me feel like I’m just casually living in the future. this scene is the landscape from ‘Reality Is’, and it was brought into AR with Figmin XR!

if you want to see how this was made, I’ve got a process video here. (everything you see was hand painted and hand placed in virtual reality)

does anyone even know how to access the metaverse? not that i want to, but it just struck me that after months of endless metaverse articles—and billions poured into it—i don't even have the most basic grasp on how to use it

How to Secure and Protect Your VR App Data and Privacy

As virtual reality (VR) app development solutions grow in popularity across industries like gaming, healthcare, education, and more, it's essential for developers to prioritize data security and user privacy. VR app development solutions collect sensitive user information and immerse users in digital worlds - making robust security measures crucial.

This guide dives into key strategies and best practices for securing your AR VR app development architecture, safeguarding user data, protecting privacy, and upholding reliability. By proactively addressing security and minimizing risks, you can build trust with users and avoid devastating data breaches.

Encrypt Sensitive Data End-to-End

End-to-end encryption should be implemented for all personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, healthcare records, or other confidential user data processed by your VR app development solution. Encryption converts data into coded form, requiring a cryptographic key to decipher and access.

Use industry-standard symmetric encryption algorithms like AES-256 to encrypt sensitive data files and databases. On mobile VR headsets, leverage built-in encryption features like secure enclaves. Transmitting encrypted data across networks keeps it secure even if intercepted.

Properly encrypted data is unintelligible and essentially useless without the decryption key. Even if your databases are compromised, encryption acts as an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. Make sure to securely generate, manage, and store encryption keys.

Encryption should be enabled for data both at rest (stored) and in transit (being transmitted). Popular data transmission encryption protocols include TLS (HTTPS) for securing connections and VPNs for encrypting network traffic flows.

By making strong encryption central to your AR VR app development architecture, you can protect user data and comply with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA.

Authenticate Users with MFA

To prevent unauthorized access to user accounts, implement strong user authentication requirements. At minimum, enforce unique user IDs and passwords with password complexity rules. But consider taking authentication further with multi-factor or two-factor authentication (MFA/2FA).

With MFA, users must provide two or more valid proofs of identity to log into their account. This adds an extra layer of account protection, even if a password is compromised. Common MFA factors include:

- Biometrics - Fingerprint, face, or iris scans

- One-time codes - Sent via email, SMS, authenticator app

- Security keys - Physical USB keys or NFC/Bluetooth tokens

- Knowledge factors - Personal questions/answers

MFA makes stolen credentials essentially useless to malicious actors without the secondary factor. For optimal security, opt for MFA methods like security keys which are resistant to phishing.

By keeping unauthorized users out of accounts, MFA limits access to sensitive user data. Make sure to avoid SMS or email based MFA which have vulnerabilities.

Security Best Practice

Description

Encryption

Encode sensitive data via AES-256, TLS, etc. to prevent unauthorized access

Access Controls

Limit account access, enable MFA, monitor server activity

Testing

Pen testing, risk assessments, fuzzing to uncover flaws

Network Security

VPNs, TLS certificates, firewalls to protect data in motion

Privacy

Minimize data collection, be transparent, get user consent

Patching

Rapidly deploy security updates to address vulnerabilities

Limit Data Collection and Retention

To reduce your attack surface and compliance obligations, only collect the minimum user data necessary for your VR app's functionality. Clearly disclose what data is gathered and give users choices to limit optional data collection.

Set data retention policies to automatically delete old and unneeded user data after a fixed period. Avoid holding data indefinitely if not absolutely required. The less stale data accumulated, the smaller your risk exposure.

For analytics, aggregate or anonymize data to obscure individual identities. Obtain explicit user consent before re-purposing or sharing any collected data with third parties.

Following data minimization best practices demonstrates respect for user privacy while lowering security risks and costs. Appointing a privacy officer to oversee data practices can further ingrain privacy for any VR app development company.

Securely Transmit Data

All network communications containing sensitive virtual reality app development user data should be encrypted in transit between client devices, servers, APIs, databases, and internal services. Use VPNs to create encrypted tunnels or the TLS protocol (HTTPS) to encrypt connections.

TLS (Transport Layer Security) enables secure point-to-point encryption between two locations. For web and API traffic, TLS certificates should use at least 2048-bit encryption strength. To mitigate man-in-the-middle attacks, validate certificate chains and enable HSTS.

Keep SSL/TLS libraries and ciphers up-to-date. Avoid using outdated versions like SSLv3 or TLS 1.0 which have weaknesses. Properly configured TLS encryption will thwart surveillance and interception of data in motion.

Rigorously Test Security

Throughout your VR app's development lifecycle, rigorously test for vulnerabilities using techniques like penetration testing, risk assessments, static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing, and source code audits.

Identify and remediate any flaws or misconfigurations before launch. Fuzz testing involves manipulating app data inputs to uncover potential coding weaknesses. Maintain an updated inventory of all systems and dependencies.

Stay on top of new threats by subscribing to bulletins about emerging attack techniques and fresh vulnerabilities in frameworks/libraries. Perform recurring scans using SAST, DAST, and RASP tools.

A proactive approach to security testing strengthens protection and reduces risk exposure over time. Consider enlisting third-party testing services for an outside perspective.

HEY GUYS I NEED YOUR HELP!!

ok so first off WE GOT INTO THE FINALIST ROUND FOR AWE'S FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE CHALLENGE!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

we're in the running to win $100,000 to help us make digital objects into a realty for everyone. this is a huge deal. I am in a daze writing this and literally cannot articulate how major this is

we need people to watch our announcement video on Twitter multiple times to help more people see it! the twitter algorithm boosts things based on watch time, so just opening the link and letting the video run a couple times will be a HUGE help 🙏

VIDEO LINK IS HERE

Figmin XR will never have a subscription based cost model, and ALL of the things shown above are FREE to download within the app right now.

when this technology becomes as ubiquitous as smartphones (and it WILL, possibly even sooner than we think), this is the future we want people to be able to look forward to... and the first step of getting to that future is proving that it's one people actually want.
