MoSign: Challenge-Response Motion-Watermark Authentication for Anonymous Virtual-Reality Users

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 30, 2026 · UTC

Social virtual reality (VR) creates a paradox. A user's body motion is a high-entropy biometric: head and hand trajectories alone re-identify users among tens of thousands with over $94\%$ accuracy, so anonymizing the rendered avatar is a practical necessity. Yet a user often still wants to prove their identity to a chosen party from inside that anonymity. We present MoSign, which recasts digital watermarking as a challenge-response authentication protocol on the motion channel. MoSign embeds a time-varying keyed message into the style latent of a motion variational autoencoder via keystream-w
