Virtual Worlds (VWs) are persistent, immersive digital environments, in which people utilise digital representation of themselves. Current management of VW identity is very limited, and security issues arise, such as identity theft. This paper proposes a two-factor user authentication scheme based on One Time Passwords (OTPs), exploiting a Smart Card Web Server (SCWS) hosted on the tamper-resistant Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) within the user’s mobile phone. Additionally, geolocation attributes are used to compare phone and PC locations, introducing another obstacle for an attacker. A preliminary security analysis is done on the protocol, and future work is identified.
