“…Manual audience segregation again rests the task of creating groups on user, which is not desirable. SIdM, as proposed by [22] gives an alternative way of achieving privacy by decoupling the burden of social identity management (SIdM) from social network provider, to achieve contextually segregated audience. SIdM, provides an alternative way of achieving privacy in an ideal setting, but does not answer the burning question of how to enhance privacy in the already popular social networks like Facebook, Google+, Myspace and others.…”

With dispersing of information on social networksboth personally identifiable and general -comes the risk of these information falling into wrong hands. Users are burdened with setting privacy of multiple social networks, each with growing number of privacy settings. Exponential growth of applications (App) running on social networks have made privacy control increasingly difficult. This necessitates Privacy as a service model, especially for social networks, to handle privacy across multiple applications and platforms. Privacy aware information dispersal involves knowing who is receiving what information of ours. Our proposed service employs a supervised learning model to assist user in spotting unintended audience for a post. Different from previous work, we combine both Tie-strength and Context of the information as features in learning. Our evaluation using several classification techniques shows that the proposed method is effective and better than methods using either only Tie-strength or only Context of the information for classification.

“…The problem increases when users aim to create consistent social identities across multiple SNSs, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. In [23,24], we outline a single, global and provider-independent social identity model and show how to implement and decompose these identities on existing SNSs. Therein, decisions in the global model (e.g.…”

Abstract. The significant change in our social lives and communication habits caused by the rise of Social Network Sites (SNSs) has not only brought along benefits but is also accompanied by privacy threats. In this paper we present our research efforts on SNS privacy and social identity management. First, we outline the results of an empirical study showing significant discrepancies between Facebook users' actual privacy settings and their perception as well as their preferences. Based on this evident need for improving privacy, we present a novel conceptualization of privacy that serves as the basis for tackling the challenges. Finally, the paper provides an overview of solutions we developed as part of our research efforts on privacy in SNSs.Keywords: Social network sites · Privacy · Social identity management MotivationSince their emergence more than a decade ago, Social Network Sites (SNSs) are increasingly changing our social lives and communication habits. While social networks have always been an important part of human life, the advent of easyto-use services and their ability to bridge boundaries -regarding both space and time -increasingly shifts social life to the online world. These networks enable communication with people from different social spheres (e.g. family, close friends, colleagues), ease interaction, and allow their users to stay in touch with existing contacts as well as to create new relationships.However, the rise of SNSs also threatens the privacy of their users. On the one hand, people on SNSs inconsiderately share many personal items (e.g. status updates, location updates, photos) while they are not fully aware of their audience. There are numerous examples of SNS users posting inappropriate pictures and status updates and consequently offending people that have access to these items (such as one's boss or parents). On the other hand, few SNS providers exist that have collected a large amount of personal data in their databases raising surveillance and data protection concerns.

“…Then, special xml files are sent to users contacts to retrieve the real information. Furthermore, a recent approach is proposed by Riesner and Pernul (2012). They specify a global model which points out the need of managing data independently of WBSNs, known as Social Identity Management (SIdM), attaining that users control in great depth their identity data.…”

An interconnected world is what current technologies look for, being Web Based Social Networks (WBSNs) a promising development in this regard. Four desirable WBSN features are identified, namely, interoperability, reusability, protection against WBSNs providers and indirect relationships. A protocol, called U+F, addressed interoperability and reusability of identity data, resources and access control poli-cies between different WBSNs. In order to address the remaining couple of features, that is, achieving the protection of data against WBSNs providers and indirect relationships management across different WBSNs, this paper presents eU+F, an extension of U+F. A prototype is developed to verify the feasibility of implementing the proposed protocol in a real environment, as well as to compare its workload regarding three well-known WBSNs, Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn.
