Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), collectively referred to extended reality (XR) technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us. However, as with any new technology, there are security and privacy concerns that must be addressed.
These concerns include data privacy, hacking of haptic hardware, software, and XR Infrastructure and public safety. In XR systems, personal information, such as location data and biometric information, can be collected and shared without the user's knowledge or consent.
Current XR development platforms for these technologies do not allow for built in security, safety, and privacy.
The XRVillage was created to:
The Vision
To promote Security, Privacy, and Safety for XR software, hardware, and environments including the Metaverse, through awareness, education, policy and legal coordination, and exploitation and remediation of known and unknown vulnerabilities.
The Mission
Provide access to XR devices and applications for the security community for vulnerability testing; provide guidance & collaborative recommendations back to Policy makers, legislators, law enforcement, vendors, users, and the world on best Security, Privacy, and Safety practices in XR
At the Defcon31 XRVillage hackers can expect expert XR security talks, policy and legal discussions, and a Hands-on Haptics Hackathon. XR devices will be on hand to demonstrate applications and environments such as BadVR w/Microsoft HoloLens (Example) showing virtual visibility to all surrounding WIFI networks via AR. They and others will show what is already being built in XR environments that may, or may not cross a line for privacy, safety, and security in the space. Specific breakout sessions will be available for hackers to discuss current efforts by XR Vendors to address security concerns.
Expert XR Security Talks will focus on exploitation of XR in the wild: What’s been done and what’s coming.
A Policy & Legislation panel of Global Governments and Law Enforcement Agencies will discuss challenges with current policies, and their limitations in enforcing privacy, safety, and security in XR. The panel will include a lengthy Q&A for hackers to present their thoughts.
Hackers will get their hands dirty with the Hands-On Haptics Hackathon. They will be given XR headsets within a test environment to identify specific vulnerabilities; with extra credit to anyone who finds new ones.
Hackers will have many different elements of XR to immerse themselves in, challenge their preconceptions of XR, and inspire them to learn more.
