Second Presenter: Mr. Yongbo Zeng, Ph.D. Student, University of Rhode Island
Topic: Online Social Networks Privacy Study through TAPE Framework
Abstract:
While personal information privacy is threatened by online social networks, researchers are seeking for privacy protection tools and methods to assist online social network users. In this work, we propose a Trust-Aware Privacy Evaluation framework, called TAPE, aiming to address this problem. Under the TAPE framework we investigate how to quantitatively evaluate the privacy risk, as a function of people's awareness of privacy risk as well as whether people can be trusted by their friends to protect others personal information. Simulations are performed to illustrate the key concepts and calculations, as well as the advantages of TAPE. Based on the TAPE framework, we also propose an unfriending strategy in terms of privacy protection, which outperforms other existing unfriending strategies.
Biography:
Yongbo Zeng received his B.S. degree in Information Security from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in 2009, and the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Rhode Island, in 2014. He is currently a Ph.D. student of Electrical Engineering at University of Rhode Island. His research interests include reputation system, trust evaluation and online social network privacy.
The Seminars is open to the public free of charge.
