Protecting the Privacy and Trust of VIP Users on Social Network Sites
There is a real threat on the VIPs personal pages on
the Social Network Sites (SNS). The real threats to these pages is
violation of privacy and theft of identity through creating fake pages
that exploit their names and pictures to attract the victims and spread
of lies. In this paper, we propose a new secure architecture that
improves the trusting and finds an effective solution to reduce fake
pages and possibility of recognizing VIP pages on SNS. The
proposed architecture works as a third party that is added to
Facebook to provide the trust service to personal pages for VIPs.
Through this mechanism, it works to ensure the real identity of the
applicant through the electronic authentication of personal
information by storing this information within content of their
website. As a result, the significance of the proposed architecture is
that it secures and provides trust to the VIPs personal pages.
Furthermore, it can help to discover fake page, protect the privacy,
reduce crimes of personality-theft, and increase the sense of trust and
satisfaction by friends and admirers in interacting with SNS.
