Abstract

Considering the growing popularity of the Online Social Networks, achieving data confidentiality from user’s perspective has turned out to be a vital issue. A system using trust can provide access control for the data uploaded by the owner on the social network. The paper discusses various metrics to calculate the trust and evaluation of trust score to determine the trust an owner has with the friends in her social network. Also the paper proposes the architecture that will build this trust evaluation system. Hence, the data will be seen by the friends who are trusted and the motive to achieve data confidentiality is achieved using trust-based access control scheme. The paper also discusses the Trust Rule to achieve access control of the data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proposal that calculates trust based on experience, context information and interaction.
