Abstract

The security of private information of users online is a critical topic, particularly since social networking applications became popular. According to Cutillo et al. [1], beyond the usual vulnerabilities that threaten any distributed application over the Internet, online social networks raise specific privacy concerns due to their inherent handling of personal data. © 2012 IEEE.
