   Book Objectives

Online social networks provide users, within their platforms, powerful ways
to interact with other users through different forms and modalities.
Consequently, each user can search and check the profiles of her social
network members (for various reasons), exchange messages with some of them,
publish some photos, and post comments on shared photos, etc. Although such
tools are attracting continuously more and more users, several security and
privacy problems related to their usage are emerging. For instance, how to
provide users with an easy way to protect their shared data? How to protect
a multimedia data repository (e.g., photo album) while several related
information about the same content is already published (by some user
friends) on the same or other blog/wiki/social network? How to define
publication strategies? etc.

The general aim of this book is to assess the current approaches and
technologies, as well as to outline the major challenges and future
perspectives, related to the security and privacy protection of social
networks. It aims to provide an overview of the state of the art, latest
techniques, studies, and approaches as well as future directions in this
field, by including a wide range of interdisciplinary contributions from
various research groups.

The primary target audience for the book includes researchers, scholars,
postgraduate students and developers who are interested in social network
security and protection.
