• Abstract summary: Vehicular Twins (VTs) are digital replicas of Vehicular Metaverse Users (VMUs) VTs are established and maintained in RoadSide Units (RSUs) with sufficient computing and storage resources. During VT migrations, physical-virtual synchronization and massive communications among VTs may cause identity and location privacy disclosures. We propose a VMU-VT dual pseudonym scheme and a synchronous pseudonym change framework to defend against these attacks.

• Abstract: The gradual fusion of intelligent transportation systems with metaverse technologies is giving rise to vehicular metaverses, which blend virtual spaces with physical space. As indispensable components for vehicular metaverses, Vehicular Twins (VTs) are digital replicas of Vehicular Metaverse Users (VMUs) and facilitate customized metaverse services to VMUs. VTs are established and maintained in RoadSide Units (RSUs) with sufficient computing and storage resources. Due to the limited communication coverage of RSUs and the high mobility of VMUs, VTs need to be migrated among RSUs to ensure real-time and seamless services for VMUs. However, during VT migrations, physical-virtual synchronization and massive communications among VTs may cause identity and location privacy disclosures of VMUs and VTs. In this article, we study privacy issues and the corresponding defenses for VT migrations in vehicular metaverses. We first present four kinds of specific privacy attacks during VT migrations. Then, we propose a VMU-VT dual pseudonym scheme and a synchronous pseudonym change framework to defend against these attacks. Additionally, we evaluate average privacy entropy for pseudonym changes and optimize the number of pseudonym distribution based on inventory theory. Numerical results show that the average utility of VMUs under our proposed schemes is 33.8% higher than that under the equal distribution scheme, demonstrating the superiority of our schemes.

  Vehicle Twins (VTs) provide valuable metaverse services to improve driving safety and on-board satisfaction for VMUs throughout journeys. To maintain uninterrupted metaverse experiences, VTs must be migrated among edge servers following the movements of vehicles. This can raise concerns about privacy breaches during the dynamic communications among vehicular edge metaverses. Existing pseudonym management methods fall short in meeting the extensive pseudonym demands in vehicular edge metaverses.
