Abstract
A system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive a first user credential associated with a user and authorize an avatar of the user to enter a virtual environment. The processor receives a second user credential associated with the user and authorizes the first avatar to access a virtual entity in the virtual environment. The processor receives a request from the user to authenticate the virtual entity and, in response, retrieves user data associated with the user and presents it to the user in the virtual environment. The processor receives an indication from the user that the virtual entity is authentic. The processor then receives a request from the user to perform a virtual data interaction with the virtual entity and initiates the requested data interaction.
