## 4 Proposed Framework
New, reliable organizations will be added to the Trust Registry. * Policy and Compliance: The DAO will be in charge of making sure the framework complies with international rules, such as identity standards and privacy laws. Additionally, it will create guidelines for how the framework should be used and operated. * Continuous Improvement: Through user feedback and adaptation to technological advancements, the DAO will support ongoing framework improvement. This entails maintaining the Trust Registry and revising protocols and standards. * Stakeholder Engagement: All stakeholders will be encouraged to actively participate in the framework to make sure it satisfies the wide range of needs of the Metaverse community. This involves transparent channels of communication, feedback systems, and frequent consultations. The suggested SSI-based authentication framework seeks to offer a user-centric, secure, private, and interoperable identity solution for the Metaverse that can adjust to its changing needs and dynamic nature through these governance structures and considerations. **Ongoing Identity Management:** As they engage with various services and entities in the Metaverse, users can keep receiving and managing new venture capital. The Identity Wallet makes it possible to renew and revoke login credentials, guaranteeing that the user's identity is safe and current. * Audit and Compliance: The framework incorporates mechanisms for conducting compliance checks and auditing transactions to guarantee that all operations comply with the set privacy and security standards. To keep the Trust Registry as a trustworthy source of verification and to preserve the integrity of the authentication procedure, audits are carried out regularly. By allowing the user to maintain control over, give permission for use of, and manage their identity throughout the Metaverse, this operational flow guarantees that the user stays at the center of the authentication process. A secure foundation is provided by the application of blockchain technology and cryptographic proofs, and interoperability and a seamless user experience are enabled by the architecture of the framework. * Regular Security Audits: Independent third-party security firms will regularly audit the framework to ensure that the highest security standards are maintained. By locating and fixing possible vulnerabilities, these audits contribute to the framework's resistance to changing cyber threats. * Security and Privacy Considerations: Security and privacy are given top priority by the framework, which encrypts identity data from beginning to end. Zero-knowledge proofs allow for verification while hiding the underlying information. Blockchain technology is used for tamper identification and consistent DID and VC recording. Frequent framework updates and security audits are necessary to handle new threats. Security and privacy are given top priority in the design of the suggested SSI-based authentication framework, guaranteeing that users can trust the system with their digital identities. A secure, user-controlled, and interoperable identity management system is essential, and this need is met by the suggested SSI-based authentication framework for the Metaverse. The framework makes sure that users can navigate the Metaverse with confidence in the security and privacy of their digital identities by utilizing blockchain technology and abiding by international standards.
