With their unparalleled popularity, social networks have pervaded all aspects of our daily and professional lives. Social Networks, together with the users’ online activities, produce large amounts of data that is being collected and used to provide services. However, it is widely recognized that security and privacy are critical issues of social networks. Indeed, on one hand, social networks are used, by attackers, as a platform to launch attacks and distribute malicious information. On the other hand, privacy and data leakage through social networks has become common exercise to the point that users are resigned to the fact that there is no more privacy online.
The main objective of the workshop is to bring together experts and practitioners of data modeling, architectures and techniques in order to provide solutions that balance data access (necessary for social networks and online services) and users’ privacy.
