SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON INFORMATION SECURITY PRIV...

The social benefit derived from Online Social Networks (OSNs) can lure users to reveal
unprecedented volumes of personal data to an online audience that is much less trustworthy than
their offline social circle. Even if a user hides his personal data from some users and shares
with others  privacy settings of OSNs may be bypassed  thus leading to various privacy harms
such as identity theft  stalking  or discrimination. Therefore  users need to be assisted in
understanding the privacy risks of their OSN profiles as well as managing their privacy
settings so as to keep such risks in check  while still deriving the benefits of social network
participation. This book presents to its readers how privacy risk analysis concepts such as
privacy harms and risk sources can be used to develop mechanisms for privacy scoring of user
profiles and for supporting users in privacy settings management in the context of OSNs.
Privacy scoring helps detect and minimize the risks due to the dissemination and use of
personal data. The book also discusses many open problems in this area to encourage further
research.
