1. A system comprising:
a light fidelity (LiFi) device comprising:
a memory configured to store confidential data;
a light source configured to emit light;
a processor operably coupled to the memory, and configured to:
receive, from a receiving device, a first request to provide the confidential data;
in response to receiving the first request, mask the confidential data;
modulate the light with the masked confidential data;
emit the light modulated with the masked confidential data toward the receiving device, wherein the receiving device is positioned in a direction of a propagation of the light;
receive, from a virtual reality device, a second request to unmask the confidential data;
in response to receiving the second request, communicate a blockchain data entry to a blockchain network, wherein the blockchain data entry indicates to determine whether a user is authorized to access the unmasked confidential data;
in response to the user being authorized to access the unmasked confidential data, receive, from the blockchain network, a confirmation message that indicates the user is authorized to access the unmasked confidential data;
unmask the masked confidential data;
modulate the light with the unmasked confidential data; and
emit the light modulated with the unmasked confidential data toward the virtual reality device, wherein the virtual reality device is positioned in a direction of a propagation of the light.
