Online social networks (OSNs) have been an integral aspect of daily life. Most people use OSNs such as Facebook and Twitter to communicate and exchange information. Numerous analytical methods have been applied to OSNs by active exploration of their graph structure, like clustering analyses for automatic online group detection and node impact analyses of awareness of influential nodes within social networks. On OSN, a large‐scale attack was launched by creating a bogus profile and using it to propagate spam, malware, and phishing attacks. To overcome the above issues, we designed a trust management and data protection model (TM‐A‐DPM), in which the trust management identifies the trust factor accuracy to achieve confidentiality, integrity, and privacy. Experimental results determine the performance and computational efficiency as well as resolve the privacy threats such as data leakage and data forgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
