Confidential Communication Techniques for Virtual Private Social Networks
In this paper,we are concerned with techniques for establishing confidentiality of user-generated content(UGC),shared in centralised and untrusted online social networks(OSNs).We describe how the concepts of secret sharing and steganography can be combined to result in a technique for sending confidential messages,as part of a proposed architecture for a virtual private social network(VPSN).We consider the types of UGC confidentiality threats that the VPSN can mitigate,based on those of a decentralised online social network(DOSN).We also postulate the concept of a virtual distributed online social network(VDOSN)in which a VPSN is established across multiple centralised OSNs.
