Access control models for online social networks

Abstract:

In recent years, with the growth of the Internet, the number of users of Online Social Networks (OSNs) has increased notoriously. Users use these systems to communicate and share information with each other. In order to protect the amount of data that is being shared in these systems and to avoid security and privacy issues, it is important to have an adequate Access Control Model. Researchers have proposed different access control models with the purpose of satisfy users’ requirements and address the security and privacy issues. In this project, we focus on study the existing and relevant access control models. We study each scheme and present examples that help us to understand it, in order to be able to present an analysis and discussion of the strengths and weakness of each one. In addition, we present a comparative analysis of the selected models based on the access control requirements with the purpose of determining whether the models fulfil or not the social requirements of the community and the technical requirements of the system.
