Privacy challenges in the online social networking era
Amre Shakimov, Landon P. Cox · 2011
Online Social Networking (OSN) services such as Facebook and Twitter are immensely popular. Their users entrust them with sensitive data such as friends lists, pictures and messages. This data can be directly shared with other users or can be handed to the third-party applications for further processing. Our work focuses on on the many privacy and trust issues that OSNs present. More specifically, we are interested in studying users' privacy in OSNs under various trust and attack models.
