Enhancing Privacy in Mobile Social Networks: A Novel Approach Utilizing FRS and ABE-CP Algorithm for Improved Protection

ABSTRACT

The increasing numbers of social network users have grown recent. Users share vast information due to different services on networks. Among the vital challenges these networks faced include unauthorized access, privacy violation by network providers, malicious attacks etc. Researchers have explored several ways to curb with these challenges to include encryption, policies, anti malwares and so on. An improved design to secure social network based on FRS and ABE- CP was presented here. The duo made use of an end-to-end manner to encrypt user data. In The proposed technique also offers users’ desired access control to share data to prevent unauthorized access and privacy violation. FRS fragments confidential information in order to produce insignificant fragments and then scatter the fragments to obtain a redundant fashion across the distributed system. Furthermore, FRS forestalls unauthorized access of network provider. By comparing results of the proposed scheme with other similar investigated schemes, the proposed scheme prevents unauthorized access to users’ data and protects user’s privacy from intruders and social network provider. The scheme also becomes resistant to common attacks like replay and man-in-the-middle attack.
