DescriptionWhile the innovation and phenomenon of social network applications has greatly impacted society, the economy, and the technological pool of the internet; these platforms are not only used for content sharing purposes. They are also used to support and develop new services and applications. Social Network Engineering for Secure Web Data and Services provides empirical research on the engineering of social network infrastructures, the development of novel applications, and the impact of social network- based services over the internet. This comprehensive collection highlights issues and solutions developed to prevent security threats and introduce proper countermeasures for attacks on every level. This book is useful for professionals and researchers in the field of social network and web security.
Reviews and Testimonials
Computer scientists, electrical engineers, communications specialists, and other researchers review the current engineering, development, and research applied to online social networks. In particular, they consider ways to address security threats, and introduce proper countermeasures to attacks at every level during the design and development of network applications. Their topics include access control models, social interactions and automated detection tools in cyberbullying, distributed social platforms for confidentiality and resilience, privacy issues in social networks, a graph-based approach to model privacy and security issues, and using formal methods to enforce privacy-aware social networking.
